Skirt Toile in Calico


Jessie here. So we have an assignment coming up in the next few weeks that requires us to construct a pattern for a skirt we designed last semester. Then, yep, we're sewing it! I made the pattern for this skirt last week and quickly constructed it in calico as a trial to see how it fit on the mannequin. The pattern definitely needs to be altered quite a bit! The second tier is too long and the waistband needs to be adjusted big time! A toile (a mock up) is a great way to test a garment and make changes if need be! I'm thinking of making the final one in silk organza...off to a fabric store in Surry Hills this afternoon! Will keep you updated x
