Flash and Trash - Part XXIII

Skirt Finishing

The skirt really only needed the lining inserted and the final finishing done, so that's what I've done.  The top edge is finished with a piping/binding like the armholes of the vest.  Included along with that is a small tab and snap at the top of zipper.


All the hems are now done and the lining has been pressed and stitched in place at the edge of the godet, too.


I've also added the label.  This means that the ensemble is pretty much finished!  I should be able to do a photo shoot and final post either this weekend or on Monday.

Parting Shot:  Apple Blossoms.  All of our trees now have leaves and our small apple tree even has some blossoms on it.  It is too small to actually produce edible apples, but it is nice to see some signs of life!

Our apple trees are in full bloom right now, too. Hopefully they will get a chance to see some blue sky soon. It just keeps raining and raining. Your skirt is looking beautiful.

Can't wait to see pix! I've really enjoyed following this project, and, as always, so inspired by your skills and talent.
We finally have blossoms on the fruit trees here in the frozen Pacific NW, but still have below freezing mornings (so no planting) and 70 degree afternoons. Schizophrenic spring!
