Sew crappy polyester organza over strips of tissue or tracing paper! It works like a charm and my seams were perfect. Apparently other students (using the industrials) got their projects swallowed by the machine a few times and had to start over.
We then had to drape the organza over the base skirt. Here is what I have so far. It's one big hot mess! I was going to do a bubble hem, but I haphazardly cut the overlay too short. I think I'm going to do a hand rolled hem on everything, which will take forever.
My skirt is gross and I just hope I can get a good grade on it just for all the work I put into it.
Thanks to Levanah, Allie, and dikisdersi for becoming my newest followers! You gals are great!
I'm in love with your skirt already. Thank you for your comment on my quilting post. I'll take a picture of Granny's quilts as soon as I can get pictures taken. As I said in the post, they were more for practicality than for looks, but I do love them so.
