I made this skirt using the same techniques from this tutorial that I used to make my other maternity skirt, although I added a bit more of a curve to the front of the skirt and made it slightly more fitted.
I sewed this skirt entirely on my serger. It was nice to only get out one machine instead of two, particularly since half the challenge of sewing at my house is keeping Johnny from trying to use the sewing machines.
While I have written about my love of my serger before, I don’t think I’ve mentioned a favorite feature: its ability to quickly sew a blind hem. Here’s a photo to illustrate (done using stitching to keep the hem from looking blind…) I’ve never enjoyed hemming, so this is a wonderful feature to have on my new machine!

I really want to get a sewing machine when I see the clothes you've been making for yourself and your children!
I'm SO going to be coming back here when I'm pregnant again – the clothes you've made turned out great!
I wish I knew how to sew when I was pregnant. I rummaged the larger ladies sale racks instead. And a serger, oh, I still dream of one day getting one.
This looks fabulous! It looks very comfortable too. It is so smart of you to sew your own maternity clothes. They can be so expensive, and you only wear them for such a short time. Great job!
so cute! You are so creative!
I don't sew as much as I'd like to for the same reason you said–trying to keep Ingrid away from the machine is too hard :)
Great skirt.. wish I were better at sewing. I did a lot of 4-H projects but I haven't sewn in years.
Where were you when I was pregnant and looking for cute maternity skirts?? You did a great job! =)
That looks like a pretty cool skirt! You are really talented and I enjoy seeing and reading about your many projects.
I bought a great sewing machine hoping to learn but didn't have anyone to help me. :( I wish I could sew well. I have before. I learned in high school but promptly forgot it all. Nice skirt. :)
