Today I began sewing up my skirt in the real fabrics; I started by over-locking all of the black and white pieces. Jill suggested edge stitching the suede to make it look finished and professional but after talking with Lynn she said I was best off leaving it as it was in case it got scratched on the machine. We agreed on just one layer of suede to start with and to see if it stood out enough on its own. Sewing it all together was pretty easy as I made sure to put notches in to indicate front and back pieces which could have gotten confusing because they were all similar shapes.
I edge stitched around the underside of the suede to make it stand up a little more and also to hold down the seam on the inside of the skirt.
