I also have noticed that others were adding facing in different materials so I added a lovely purple facing at the waist. It a quilting weight cotton and has hydrangeas on it. I love the way it peeps over the top of the waist band. I think my next ginger will have piping along the bottom of the waistband.

Navy Ginger
This is the second completed item that I've made so far, ten more to go if I'm going to meet the challenge. I wanted to make a navy corduroy skirt after seeing Tilly's red chunky corduroy grain-line. So got to work straight away. After making the pink ginger that I posted last week I was confident that the size was correct and set about cutting and assembling. Invisible zipper was not really a problem this time as I went straight to the video, no stubborn frustration for me this time.

Again a nice straightforward assembly which will look lovely in the Autumn with some knee high/ calf boots. Just need to find the perfect pair. Any ideas? This is also a practice skirt but definitely wearable. I wanted to check I liked the pattern and fit before cutting the gorgeous liberty corduroy I bought back in January.

What a gorgeous skirt! I love the cord, and the hydrangeas fabric. I made my first Ginger with gabardine, which I also used for the facing; and I'm sorry I didn't use a lighter fabric, but I can live with it! Good luck with the next one. :)
