i like to line my skirts but this one for my daughter is a lovley soft denim,.
Any suggestions for turning under the waist area, as i usually use my lining as facing.
If i lined the skirt it would not have the movement in it that the denim has.
any ideas please

Denim Facing
Hello Denise.
I would face the skirt with the denim that you are using, that way the panels are matching rather than having a contrast panel facing the original denim, If you have a contrast panel as a facing you may see the contrast peaking up above the outer denim slightly. The denim facing would be lightly fused and attached to the lining giving the garment a professional finish.
I hope that this helps you.
Good luck in your project and happy sewing.
