My first garment

... made with my own sewing machine! My second skirt, and the first one, I'm planning on wearing. Ah, actually, it's my second skirt: my very first sewing project as a teenager was a maxi-wrap-skirt in a red tartan fabric. Which I wore many times. I wonder whether it's still somewhere in my wardrobe at my parents' place...

Anyhow, sewing with the stretch fabric was a bit tricky and I think is the reason why the hem isn't entirely straight and slightly curled up. Luckily the fabric doesn't fray (she says...) so I didn't bother overlocking the seams. Most of all, I LOVE the fabric. Which also came with the black bit that I used for the waistband. I also inserted a wide elastic - even though I am not sure it was necessary or even makes any difference. But it seemed like a good idea.
