Mademoiselle Marionette 2018 Part 19

In Loving Memory of Sarah Louise Kay

The world is a darker place without her.

This blog is moving on to making Skirts to go with the Top

Rough Template

In keeping with the French theme I decided to add a touch of Red to go along with the Blue and White. Since the Skirt like the Top has to be detachable I came up with the idea of making it a wrap-around Skirt with Side Split

Cutting out the material was the easy bit as was the Hemming. The difficulty was trying to place the Press Studs in the right place. This was due to the hour glass figure.

If I tried making the Skirt tight around the Stomach it made it flare out in an unsightly manner. Too loose and it flapped about. In the end I decided that the best way would be to make the Skirt sit on the Hips.

Red and Blue

Once I had the dimensions for the Skirt I could make more with slightly different designs.

The Original Red Skirt is shown in the above picture which is fully Hemmed. The Dark Blue Skirt I have straightened on one side and have used Pinking Scissors to create the pattern.

Pure White

The White Skirt I have kept simple. I have merely Hemmed 3 Sides. Therefore the Bottom can be altered at another time if wished.

Party Blue

This Blue Skirt I decided to add a touch of sparkle by adding a Silver Ribbon. This will make an excellent match for the Party Top.
