Pleated skirt

I've just cut out a skirt using the dress pattern McCalls 7714, I am making it longer - about mid calf. I am having a rest before I start on 28 tailor tacks for the pleats. I am using the teal cotton lawn with the small floral pattern.

Rather you than me, missus, but I am sure it will be lovely when done.

28 tailor tacks? You're brave! It'll be a lovely skirt, perfect for the summer.

All the pleats are sewn and I've found a suitable zip. Will do the pressing tomorrow and put the zip in.

Just got to finish the waist facing and the hem - maybe today although lunch in the garden and lazing in the sun might be preferable

Thanks
@jen
, it is finished now. The waist facing is my own method for unlined skirts using bias binding.
