Hey,
Its a new update from my source of inspiration! (my head :D) Hope you enjoy! ~
Last week, I found some very inexpensive large linen fabric. I think it was a tablecloth. That's why it had a few stains :S but i didnt't notice that until afterwards..
Suprisingly, my project went really well.
First, I cut my tablecloth into a skirt pattern and trimmed the edges.
I had neither measuring stick nor pattern so I used another skirt as a template. A big freehand project ^^
It took me about 4 days.. And my hand hurts .. I had severe cramps in my left thumb.
Aye, exactly, my scissor is for nails, not fabric.
that's the challenge: crappy scissor and no measuring stick ;)
And what could it be?
And actually, I didn't have enough material for my imagination, so I had to improvise. That means I couldnt implement this idea:
Instead, I opened up these edges and serrated (riffled?) it.
The result: (This is the back)
and of course I serged the edges, all by hand of course..
(Front)
And I am really proud :)
The front is shorter than the back. And on the pleats are on the back, but as you can see in picture numero 8, I also riffled the front. So I didn't add riffles, I sewed them into the waistband itself.
I am curious to see when I will wear it >:) we will see ^^but its kinda cold outside. and it looks rather formal.
hope you enjoyed it, and I look forward to your comments below about what you think!
have a nice friday evening in the shadows of the fullmoon ~~
