My craft challenge - Day 1- The Circle Skirt

After issuing my craft challenge (to myself), I started taking my measurements and making the pattern.  Making the pattern was very simple.  I then laid out my fabric and cut out the pattern.  Once the fabric was cut out, I tried and failed to get the sewing machine to do a zig zag or hem.  The material was too slinky and no matter what pressure I used for the settings the machine would not work.  So...I sewed the hem by hand.  It took awhile:)  I didn't have the chance to buy elastic yet.  There are no fabric stores in my town anymore, so a trip to Lansing is in order.  Who knows when I will make the trip, but I am anxious to get it done.  My girls are excited for their skirts too.  The fabric I had wasn't big enough so I need to purchase their fabric too.

Until next time.  Erin
