Today I finally got on the machine to sew something.The summer holiday is usually a long one and I was becoming bored at home. I had told my sister that I feel like I can do well with baking seeing how people mix different Ingredients for their baking. Myself and my friend often eat a lot or doughnuts in school and I was hoping that I can use my summer holiday to learn how to bake
Having begged my sister to enrol me in a baking school we had gone round to check a few school only to realize that the fees for learning the skill was too high. My sister cannot afford that for now knowing that September comes with a lot of financial responsibility where she will have to pay a huge amount of money for my school fees.
I never liked sewing but just too keep away boredome I decided to try. My sister is a seamstress and I have learnt how to paddle the machine from her for a long time now but I never see anything since I didn't know how to cut.
Today I have been reading a novel all day. And when I got tired I took a paper and began to ask my sister how to draw a pencil skirt
This thing looks simpler than I thought.
I love architecture in school and drawing this was like a work of architecture I was able to draw a pencil skirt of my size.
I took a satin fabric, placed the paper on it and cut out the skirt
Since I can paddle machine very well was easy to join the the front and back of the skirt on the machine.
The blue satin was not enough so I decided to pair this with a white and see if the combination of the two colors will be good for a skirt.
I used the white to cut and sew a band which I attached to the shirt.
Fixing the zipper was the hardest part for me.
I took the remaining white satin and added it to the front of my skirt. I am so happy to sew a pencil skirt for myself for the first time.
I can't wait for school resumption to show my friends what I have sewn
