skirt #2

Skirt #2 was made from a coated cotton, and had pockets a waistband and 3 zips (one as fastening and 2 for detail and too allow movement).

due to the stiffness of the fabric I wanted to do something tailored...then deciding to do something a bit sporty came up with this...

Exposed zip fastening..like i used in week ones skirt...I tried to keep a sporty theme with the chunky plastic zip...i put the zip in asymmetrically to add a point of difference...wasn't too successful. 

Side Pockets...very deep 

instead of just creating a vent to allow movement, i put another zip in to emphasize the sports concept

Waistband - I should have used interfacing in the waistband, but i never...learn from next time...the gathered waist was taken from week ones skirt...

Pocket inside out...I used the fabric from my first skirt to create a contrast and link the skirts...

as the fabric didn't fray..i didn't think it was worth trying to finish it...though with hindsight...perhaps a run and fell seam would have worked better.

I could have done a deep hem...

Overall I liked the style...it was the finishing that let it down perhaps...and i could have designed the details better...I do think a week is such a short time to properly think, design, and make a successful garment...however it is possible and is down to time keeping skills.
