I mentioned last week that I had taken apart my spruce Elemental skirt to add some extra fabric to the side seams, since it had come out slightly too snug for comfort. There was just a bit of fabric left, but enough to cut out two 1" strips that followed the curve of the side seam.
From the experience of making my Woodrose skirt, I knew that I needed an extra 1/2" on the sides, and figured a 1" strip with 1/4" seam allowances on both sides would get me there. I wouldn't do it on purpose, but as a fix with no alternatives, it worked pretty well!
I'm hoping it looks like a design element, but even if not, the skirt is so much more comfortable that I don't actually care that much. I wore this outfit over the weekend and it was supremely comfortable.
Sadly, I think yesterday was my last day for tights until fall (and even yesterday was a bit of a stretch). The temps are climbing again and the humidity is back (wahh! I had just got rid of the 3 pounds of water I was holding from the last heat wave. So it goes).
But I'm grateful for the brief reprieve anyway.
God be with you! Love that you have clothes that make you happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
