Let me tell you a little story, of what happens when you feel compelled to volunteer several days a week in the 1rst grade French class. Adorable children want to hug you, tell you stories in tiny voice with their faces very close to yours and generally want to share their many many GERMS! We are less than one month into it and I am already sick, really laying flat on my back sick...
Last night, before I hit bottom I made this ponte skirt following Sunni's simple drafting directions, it was my first self drafted anything and although not perfect at the hip level, I feel very comfortable in it and if still alive by the afternoon Sunni can tell me all that went wrong. The skirt is named after Miriam, who loves all things tribal and is a great source of of inspiration in my carving efforts.
Mid construction I decided not to use a zipper (which I didn't have) and go for the seamless elastic waist instead. Since the fit is not perfect, it seemed like a better use of sewing time. Now faced with with a back seam I decided to add a little slit, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. See I can speak 1rst grader!
