I've been planning it since last October, I actually started sewing it last November, and I finished it this February: my red velvet skirtain. I'm calling it a skirtain because the fabric is an offcut from the bottom of a cotton velvet curtain from Ikea.I put the zip in by hand because I haven't (yet) mastered the zipper foot on my machine, then had to unpick the whole of that seam because the two edges of the waistband didn't quite meet. When I say 'didn't quite meet' I mean one side was about two inches above the other. Not quite sure how that happened...maybe because I've worked on it in many little chunks of time? I did contemplate bodging it by folding one side of the waistband down...but then had a word with myself, unpicked it and sewed it up properly. It has a press stud because that's easier than a buttonhole!
I've worn it and I love it...and here it is!
