My First Sew-A-Long- Burda Marie Skirt

2011 is guaranteed to be a year of firsts when it comes to my sewing. I joined my first sew along which is being hosted by Regan over at Stitch In My Side. This will also be my first time trying a Burda pattern as well so it will be a double dose of firsts.

We will be making the Burda Marie skirt. Cute isn't it.


Hopefully it really is for a Novice like me but if not I think being part of a group of other people doing it too will help in case I have any question.

Well here it goes!!

Not so bad. Now I just have to decide on a fabric and see if I have interfacing as well. I am thinking navy blue because I already have the fabric and I don't have a navy blue skirt.
