I t...Lauren - you could absolutely make this skirt! I think this would be a great starter project! <br /><br />Jersey knits are great for skirts because they are flattering and comfy to wear, easy to care for, and (the best part) knits do not fray - so you won't have to "finish" any of your edges or seams - yay! This is a HUGE timesaver, especially when you are just starting out. Another plus, if the finished skirt is too long, you can simply cut off the access length; no need to hem! Yay! :) <br /><br />Just keep in mind that knits can be tricky to sew. A few tips for sewing with knits: you will want to use a "ball point" needle (the package will say specifically designed to sew knits) - you will want to sew slowly - your machine may have a "knit stitch", if not, use a zig zag stitch (this will allow your fabric to stretch a little). I've found that spraying my knits with spray starch before I sew them really helps to keep them from stretching too much. <br /><br />Good luck mumma! I'm excited to see what you create!<br /><br />xx<br />Michelle<br /><br />PS... shoot me an email if you need any help! :)Michelle {Daydream Believers}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02002506813570045432noreply@blogger.com
