This is the third skirt I made from New Look 654. 1 I gifted in a designer canvas and 1 plain pink cotton canvas. This time I used Lady McElroy cotton blend canvas. I pattern matched the sides and kept the fabric the right away up (pink to purple or purple to pink). I cut the long length View D but removed 6cm, I also sewed half of the skirt vent down like a pleat. I bias bound the vent, turned inside and then hadstitched it, the hem is handstitched too. The facing is cotton poplin, I used a long beige zip, sewn side lapped, and handstitched a hook an eye.
