A skirt this time.
I didn't have the pattern and decided to make up the design, with lots of gathers and ruffles. :-)
It was some what a challenge, but very fun. I sewed most of it on Saturday and was able to finish the same day. It was rainy and some what gloomy, so it gave me lots of time to stay inside and do some happy sewing.
It is constructed of three very ruffly ruffles, three panels underneath and an elastic waist band. The only difficulty was coming up with the measurements. It came out almost as I had expected. I was actually surprised how poofy it turned out.
Definitely a learning experience and very enjoyable. I have to say the fabric was not the most ideal pattern for a bed sheet, but it worked out well for a skirt. :-)
The weather has been very gloomy and I was happy for today's beautiful sunshine.
How is your weather?
Hi Leah!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been slightly chilly where we live. Last Sunday, it snowed...which made it even colder for about a day.

It looks good.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is lovely, Miss Leah! You did a wonderful job! The ruffles add a special feminine touch.
ReplyDeleteThe weather today is sunny and beautiful, although yesterday, we had lots of rain, as well as hail! It was my first time experiencing hail... I enjoyed seeing it fall down!
Many Blessings,
