We continue to be amazed at the popularity of the Lazy Days Skirt<\/a> pattern. If you take a look at the Flickr group<\/a> you’ll see a large number of skirts made from this simple, free pattern.

Keep this technique in mind if you want to use a printed fabric for your hem or you don’t have any ribbon handy. You can see that we edgestitched the top of our hem with red thread to give it that je-ne-sais-quoi. <\/em>(And to avoid blindstitching the top edge of the hem fabric. It’s supposed to be a quick skirt, after all.)<\/p>\n
