mala_14 | Print polonaise skirt

I started sewing up the skirt for my Little House print polonaise outfit. I got the darts sewn and the front panel sewn to the 2 side gores. Not much progress really, but better than nothing.

I've been thinking about whether I should pleat or gather the back and how I'm going to do the collar on the polonaise and having massive indecision when suddenly today I realized all the answers were waiting for me on the internet!

koshka_the_cat! So I'll be gathering the back panel of the skirt. Katherine's awesome detailed post also brought to my attention that I didn't put in any pockets in my skirt. Silly me! I'll have to rip out some of the seam I sewed and add one, because one of the best bonuses of sewing ones own clothes is being able to put pockets into everything!
