As my room set is base around a fashion student type room I thought that some sort of garment/skirt could be used to be displayed on a minikin as the main part of my project. I decided to make a skirt. I was really pleased with the outcome as I have never made a skirt before and it worked first time! I found the pattern pretty easy to follow. It only took me around a day to complete it. If i was to do it again I would try it with a better fabric, preferably a patterned floral fabric to make it look a little more interesting. Although I do like the idea of having it looking unfinished as if the person who lives here is currently working on it as a project for college/uni. I decided to display the skirt on this manikin because I really like the rustic look in home. Around the neck of the manikin I have included a necklace I have made in another project. But at a later date I may swap this for a tape measure.
When making my skirt I made a slight error. I sewn the pieces on the wrong side. But to fix this I just unpicked the thread and redone it.
