Sloper 2 done, with learning applied

My second sloper for DD's skirt is done, and I can send it off tomorrow. This time, the assembly went much faster and here's what I learned and applied:
  1. I checked out the pattern pieces so I could pre-cut some pieces differently and save time.
  2. I used Burda Copy paper to mark both the front and back of the folded fabric, which makes more accurate and easier to sew pieces
  3. Also used the copy paper to trace the pieces off the pattern, since I was using a multiple size pattern out of a Burda magazine
  4. Skipped the interfacing pieces, since this is just a fitting garment
  5. Sewed several different seams, which means DD only has to rip out the seams that are too tight.
Now I'll find out if DD actually knows how to use a seam ripper. LOL


Take a look at the closeup. You can see that I sewed a white seam at the smallest size, then used other colors at slightly larger sizes.
