Ok, that's probably not actually true. I sewed a few things when I was much younger, but have completely forgotten how to do anything. And now doing it without my very proficient mother looking over my shoulder, giving me help! (Although she has been summoned by phone call several times)
I decided I'd better get some hobbies in order before we get to Munich, so I dragged out the old sewing machine and got her going again. For my first project, I chose the skirt out of Built By Wendy's Sew U using Amy Butler's Belle Chrysanthemum in Blue
I put in the zipper yesterday. This photo does not display the full wonky-ness of said zipper, but it does zip! I'm counting that as a success.
Today, the facing. I'm using a contrasting color of the same fabric. The colors don't really come across in this photo, but it does match, I promise!
I'll post a photo of the skirt when it is all put together. So far, I've been liking this pattern, but some of Wendy's descriptions of how to do things are a bit head-scratch inducing and I've had to consult other sources for definitions and techniques.
