I a...I really like the way you have converted this. I also tried a jeans-skirt refashion - because I used a Burda pattern where the crotch depth is all in the back the front I could easily just sew straight from the bottom of the zip with no curvature to deal with. The back however was very difficult and I scratched my head for a while to think what I could do without having to sew the crotch down on top of an insert. Pleats adds the ease and fullness without having to worry and is a very clever solution!Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-37204381637115975822011-10-25T02:27:47.770+08:002011-10-25T02:27:47.770+08:00Great skirt.
