nice video---i have an addition----skirts cut on the bias need to hang for a while( a week or 2---wetting the skirt helps).The bias material stretches and will need to be trimmed before hemming.

Just wanted to say that I followed your instructions and went with just leaving one side open ... It is now finished and it looks fab!!! Couldnt have done it without this video.

@ohhlaala Great I'm glad the video helped! I would love to see a picture of it createyourshine@gmail.com

Brilliant helpful video, thank you! I just wanted to ask; The finished skirt has a split up the side. Is this a split you have cut in after you sewed the last seam together or is this just the last seam not sewn all the way to the bottom?

thank you :D

@ohhlaala Thank you. This particular skirt just has the side seam left open at the bottom. The person who I made this skirt for likes less of a leggy look. However if you want a more leggy look, I usually do an extra step and trim a small amount of fabric from each side of the split/open seam. That way the split is "open" and visible at all times. Hope this helps
