Pencil skirt #3

(download)

The skirt's looking quite finished now. I sewed the lining to the skirt and attached a waistband. The waistband is finished with some nice bias binding to make it look good. I've hemmed it too. I did that on the machine using the blind hem stitch because the wool is thick and patterned enough for the stitches to be invisible.

It won't get finished today because I tried to sew a buttonhole using the machine and it wouldn't work through the layers of fabric and interfacing. So I'm going to have to find some big hooks and eyes instead.

Just some hand finishing to do now.
