Both of these skirts were made at Sewjourn. Arrhh. Sewjourn. It was only a few weeks ago but seems far too long ago. What a great weekend with a group of champion women. I don't think my machine has been in action since.
This patten is from 'Sew U' by Wendy Mullin. It's a basic pattern which I enjoyed sewing. I called it my "year 7 textiles' skirt- in an affectionate way. The above photo is the fun facing, which I am sure will make me smile when I put it on!
I also whipped up another really simple skirt that I will wear to work; think- two bits of fabric shaped kind of straight skirt shape sewn together at the sides, with an elastic waistband casing added at the top. It's a bit of a dodgy photo, but I was trying to show you the really nice fabric it's made out of- it's embroidered and quite heavy and has a bit of a stretch.
Edited to add: The photos seem to have totally gone missing from cyber space and I have no idea how to get them back. I think I will stick with Photobucket, because I get how that works!
Both great looking skirts, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteYou did better than me. My skirt was thought about and repeatedly put off during May and made in a hurry last weekend (but still not hemmed!!).
Yay. Love them both, especially the year 7 sewing one. Polka dots on the inside are always a winner.
ReplyDeleteI *still* haven't finished mine. So slow with the sewing at the moment... I have changed the overlocker thread colour now though... so another step closer to finishing.
Fantastic Tanya! I love the spotty facing - totally cute and it'll make you smile every time you put it on.
ReplyDeleteYeah Tanya, they both look great, but I loved that heavy no pattern one, just because it had no pattern. Had a lovely weekend with you again.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe a boy scout with a water pistol...!
ReplyDeleteA little splash of colour to make you smile is always fun.
I didn't get any skirts made so you are two ahead of me.
Hi Tan, loving those spots and the bag from your previous post!Sewjourn sounds like a great weekend everytime I hear you gals talk about it. Should stop blog stalking and get my own craft on! C xxx
