I’m trying to come up with a fall wardrobe from my fabric stash and it’s proving to be harder than I thought- especially since I’ve nearly used up all my fabrics! This bottom layer is 1.5 yards of striped corduroy gathered onto a gored yoke. The upper skirt is another gored skirt from my favorite…
I made this skirt to sell. No time or a good name for an Etsy shop right now, so I’ll just hope this sells here! Classy. Fun. Versatile. This spring green satin skirt is perfect for summer and even Christmas. One layer of shiny satin over two layers of shimmery tulle. And two covered buttons…
Here’s a picture of the skirts the girls made yesterday!
Saturday evening I realized I hadn’t made a skirt this week, so I headed downstairs and came back with this.I LOVE it. Even though it’s officially Emma’s. 6-gores. 2 layers. Ribbon. Bows. Gathers. I used elastic in the waist since I had made it too big for a zipper. Both layers are white until about…
I made Elsie’s dress without a pattern… (Tutorial here.)And tried my hand at applique’-ing a flower to the side of Emma’s skirt… And they are all made from the same combination of fabrics I got for $0.50 a yard at Wal-Mart. I’d say total cost for everything including stash buttons was less than $10… pretty…
Yesterday I finished the Howard Girls’ Easter ensamble! I absolutely love the way our skirts/ dress came out… but no official post until we wear them on Sunday! I just couldn’t wait to share some of the details I’m so happy with, though… 😀 What could it be? My first attempt at something (can you…
I have a plan. Every week from now until September (skipping vacation weeks, of course) I, Lord willing, will sew a skirt. For me, my sisters, or a friend. Doesn’t matter. So, you’ll probably see a lot of skirts on here… 😀 Anyway, this week I made a denim skirt using the same pattern I…
Last week I made this skirt for spring. While at my friend’s house on Wednesday I was pleased to discover that my outfit matched her chair. 😀 Anyway, it’s a great skirt. I used the same pattern I used for this skirt, just cutting it off before the ruffles. It’s a bit shorter than I…
Saturday night brought me searching for an outfit for Elsie to wear to church and then realizing she had outgrown all her dresses. I headed down to the basement and whipped up this cute skirt to match her shirt. She was soooooooooooo thrilled at the prospect of new clothes, and loves to twirl in it!…
Basic tiered skirt with a little extra tier on the bottom. Adorable matching polka-dots. I used 1.3 instead of 1.5 for gathering. Cuteness in one and a half hours.
Back in January I bought some strange colored blue linen because it was cheap. My friend shopping with me at the time was very skeptical that I could make anything stylish out of it.I used McCall’s 5332, view C, omitting the lacy insert. It’s become one of my new favorite skirts, even though it wrinkles…
