It is odd how a camera flash can change the color of something in a photo, is it not? The fabric shown to the left is actually black--black polyester microfiber, to be precise. It feels somewhat velvety, but it has no nap. Having no nap makes it really easy to do pattern layouts. Yay! The image is a close-up of the stitching detail on a skirt I made recently. I used one of the pattern stitches on my wonderful little computerized sewing machine to add some subtle interest to the seamline between the skirt and the flounce around the edge. You see that bit of stitching in the lower right corner of the photo? That is the other front of the skirt: It is a faux wrap design. It actually has an elastic waist with a separate sash to tie over it. Easy to make (I think the decorative stitching took the longest of any part of the construction) and easy to wear. Such a fun little skirt...
