I have a pattern for a gored skirt with godets, and am looking forward to having time to sew again. I have a new machine, a new dress maker's dummy, and keep putting off my sewing time to finish all the writing I have to do in the next couple of months. I try to not spend so much time on the forum, but...

Gores are super simple, Darbla- just straight seams. Keep your pins inside the seam allowance so they won't make holes in the part of the satin you can see. There are also some wonderful products that allow you to tape the seams together before you sew so they don't creep around. This is a wonder product for slippery fabric!

I am so glad to be surrounded by peple who speak my language!
