I played around with overlaying fabrics – I used an organza with a silver snowflake design<\/a> over a deep blue satin<\/a>. The resulting color is a much lighter icy blue (pretty much what I was going for).<\/p>\n

I had a lot of trouble handling the fabric – I cut the circles and basted the two pieces together at the waist and hem. I then used the lower baste-line to fold and hem the skirt. That worked well. For some reason, though, I could NOT get the waistband to attach. I ended up catching the skirt in the serger and slicing the fabric. There’s a fairly large (3\/4″ wide by 3″ long) gash that I had to patch up right along the band. Not something you notice when Anya is wearing it, I didn’t have enough fabric to cut new circles, and it would look worse if I spliced in an entire wedge of the skirt.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0organza material is a little plastic-y, and difficult to work with. My original idea was to do a rolled hem on the bottom of both materials. Couldn’t get a nice rolled hem on a straight piece of sample fabric … so that was out. Once the organza was combined with the satin, it was pretty easy to work with. It doesn’t drape like cotton, though (hence my problem with the serger).<\/p>\n

The end result, however, looks really awesome. And Anya loves having a glittery silver snowflake skirt.<\/p>\n
