Just me.

all handmade by me <3

so I ironed backing inlay (idk the correct word in english?) on some spare gingham fabric, drew the heart shape on the left side and cut them out with enough allowance, pinned them right side on right side on the skirt part and sewed the heart shape. Next I cut out the inner part of the heart, made small incisions in the remaining allowance and turned the piece over for a nice inner edge. Then I used the solid colored fabric to make the scalloped edge of the hemline, basically using the same process, and by turing it over I got to use it also as a backing for the heart "window" (idk if that makes any sense? kinda hard to explain). finally, I sewed along the edge of the heart cutout to secure it onto the plain fabric. the lace trim is sewed on the skirt lining, long enough to peak out under it
