Kelly Skirt Variation : Scalloped Hem

As promised, here is a finished Kelly Skirt using the Scalloped Hem Tutorial from yesterday!

A note – if you want to do a scalloped hem on the Kelly skirt or any other garment that has an overlapping placket, make sure that you overlap your scallop when you trace it. Or else it won’t line up right!

You also may have noticed that this skirt is a little shorter than the originally Kelly skirt – I brought the hem line up quite a bit. So if you were wondering what a shorter version would look like, this is it!
