In my opinion the maxi is by definition a wardrobe staple.
Here is my first attempt at this. This project had it’s difficulty.
If I thought I liked sewing, this was the challenge that made me questioned that. While at the machine with this piece I was ready to quit. It was my first time sewing with jersey knit fabric. Such a hassle. I think this was when I realized I needed to learn more. hahah. For some reason I though I could sew one way with any fabric and any thread. Don’t get me started on the thread woes!
9 hours later…could have been longer. lol. I ended up with this. Thank God for my friend that gave me this challenge. I appreciated the hardship and the fact she loved it in the end!
I thought I was all set, then I got to the pull string waist. buttonhole drama! I improvised ( Because I am talented like that..lol)
All in all she loved it. Here it is styled below
aaah Jersey knit…….will I revisit you again…. Maybe …..we see!!:)

I love this! I may have to put in my order * hint hint*
🙂 Thanks
Hey, anytime you sew with a knit you have to use a stitch with give (zigzag). Also get yourself a double needle or start saving for a serger ( whicj is the best thing going lol). Good job. You problem solved well!
Thanks Lelee 🙂 Appreciate it. ( yeah I am thinking about the Serger..really thinking about it…)
