I only learned recently how to make my own lining - thanks Craftsy as well :) (I would love to learn how to make a skirt sloper as well.

I am now trying to draft a basic skirt sloper (from a Craftsy class) and I have the same issue as you did with this project. I cut a horizontal line across the back skirt only, a bit below the upper end of center back seam, all the way to the side seams but not through them,, I added a piece of fabric below and added about 1" on the center back, and tapered off to the side seams. This change will add more fabric around your bottom, but will keep the side seams the same. Hope this helps. :) <br />Your skirt looks great, I love the inside. I have yet to learn to do such a nice job!

And that fabric was a bargain - well done for finding that! Sorry but I can't provide any insight about the back seam sticking out - but if it's any consolation I think the skirt still looks great!Ruth - Nightingale and Dolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598582222979563780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-76904618633858023362014-02-10T09:00:26.893+00:002014-02-10T09:00:26.893+00:00Thanks Lynne!Thanks Lynne!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008177057730600352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-60398224320596888622014-02-10T09:00:06.322+00:002014-02-10T09:00:06.322+00:00Thanks Gail!

I actually was inspired by your pencil skirts :) And thanks for your suggestion regarding the "propeller" :) I might try to make a full thigh adjustment, because I still have the muslin.

Thus this skirt is perfect. Still flowers, but it does not look too playful.

However, you certainly don't look like you have full thighs, so it may not work for you.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-9483952938090117532014-02-08T21:59:15.389+00:002014-02-08T21:59:15.389+00:00Can't believe the fabric was only £1, that'...Can't believe the fabric was only £1, that's such a bargain!
