Finished Skirt Project: New Look 6190 View C


Yesterday I finally finished sewing my first garment after a week a hard work. I used View C from the New Look 6190 pattern.

I found that the pattern was pretty easy to understand minus the three sections that explained how to apply the yoke/waistband. Therefore I turned to YouTube for some help.

While creating the skirt not only did I how a lot of trouble sewing the waistband, I also could not properly attach the zipper.


All in all I am very proud of myself for sewing a wearable garment. By no means is it perfect, some parts are even a little bit sloppy. However it came out pretty good for being the first garment I have ever sewed. I also learned a lot, so hopeful next time when I decide to created something with a pattern I wouldn't have as much problems. 



p.s I still have to press the skirt which is way it looks really wrinkly.
