Maybe I'm Biased...

This was my first crack at using bias tape. I bought black to play with, so I decided to use the cute owl print fabric I had been saving for just such an occasion. Folding over and hemming the curve in the inside of a skirt's waistband never goes smoothly for my novice self. I think that this will make my skirts look more finished (and easier to construct). I swear it isn't crooked, it is just a bad angle...


To continue my "firsts" theme: below is my first 100% solo zipper. I'm happy to report that it zips and is secure!
