It feels like ages since I blogged but, lucky you, here I am again, finally. This fabric has been in the stash for several years so this make addresses one of my goals. And I stuck with my original plan to make a skirt with a scalloped hem. In fact, the scallops are what had me procrastinating.
They're not perfect but I think I'm getting better at making scallops. Of course it has pockets - side seam - and the left pocket conceals the opening. No zipper, just a button. I forgot to take a picture of it but it's like the pocket on this denim skirt.
I did take a closeup of the fabric though - 100% cotton, black background, simple cream flowers and a little touch of pink.
This is how it will usually be seen. I never almost tuck.
I don't have very many tops that I can wear with it but that's okay. I love it with this one. (blogged here) The shoes, in case anyone's interested, are Abeo and they're awesome. Flexible, great arch support.
I haven't been wearing skirts much at all in the past few years so I'm a little concerned that I won't wear this but of course the solution to that problem is to just wear it. And I will.
Goal: Sew fabric that I have had for 2+ years at least once a month (or 12 times this year) 8/12

In case this is your first time here, these pictures (not including the closeup) were taken (by tripod and timer) in the house we're building. It's timber frame construction which goes a little different from conventional construction. The roof is built before the floor. And we finally have most of a sub-floor! Getting to this point feels like a really big deal. My little fur child, whom you can see in the background, loves it. She's moved in already.
That's a cute skirt! I'm not always into flower prints but I like that one. Congrats also on building a house.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My taste in fabric colors and prints is very broad but I'm a regular old stick-in-the-mud when it comes to style - strictly classics and retro.
