Summer skirt, this fabric was very slippery and very sheer so I tries something different for the hem. Do you think it looks ok? the last picture is a close up of what I did for the hem. I made the bias from the fabric and put it on like bias tape.

looks good!

perfect solution
I may copy that--LOL if it's ok

sure, this is one of the reasons why we post thing so we can learn from each other. get ideas, etc.

looks great

lovely skirt. the hem idea is great a nice way to finish and add a bit of weight to stop blow-ups from the wind

The self bias gives for a neat finished hem.

Very pretty!

I like the little bit of weight it gives the hem so it is not so fly-away.

Lovely skirt love the finished hem.

Very pretty, you'll be ready for spring! I like your hem treatment,much nicer than most you see in the shops.

vVery pretty skirt, and great job on the hem. Hugs, Rachel

excellent job hugs

it looks perfect! sew pretty too

It is gorgeous and I love the hemline. Another way is to stretch it slightly and do a rolled hem on the overlocker. It makes it look wavy like a butterfly. Love Chris

this skirt is beautiful and I love how you did the hem..

A really neat finish to the hem, great work, Bev.
