Sudden irresistible urge to make spiral skirts. I have four of them cut out of various color combinations.
Here's the very cool way one looks going together:
Does anyone think these things are tricky to sew together? They are not like sewing two contrary curves together to make a quilt, or put a sleeve into an armscye. These are easy. There's no pinning. You just sew a few inches of curve, then pull the edges together to line up on top of each other, sew a few more inches, until one of the gores ends.
But I have no idea why I always end up tipping my head to one side while doing it. Why do that? There's no reason. Can't see any better that way. I straighten up and start sewing again, but as soon as I forget about it, the head tips sideways.

I'm surprised to see you sewing it with a regular machine. Why not do the seams on your serger?
A serger would probably work just fine.
I'm just not that confident, or decisive! I make mistakes quite often and a mistake with a serger is *permanent*!
