Haleyy @patchesandhems
"I love the bias hem finishing. Honestly genius and I will be taking that knowledge with me to future circle skirts. I love the lacing idea for view B waistband. It is super functional for me, and also distributes weight super well which was nice because my skirt unexpectedly ended up being very heavy. The seam finishings in general are all very clever and utilitarian, I approve!"
