The waist band is stuffed, took me 3 attempts!
The hem needs something (as I couldn't find a nice lace) maybe some white ric rak?
The pockets are skewed even though I have made them lots for the tunic top...
BUT
I have loved learning through this process! I made buttonholes for the first time ever AND I didn't call mum to work it out, but sat and read the instruction manual (shock horror!) I love that I have 3 more of these cut out ready to go as I know they will be infinitely better as I learn as I go!
Can't wait for my gorgwah girl to arrive home so she can try it on!
On a side note, Al has for around 12 years been telling me to get a hobby, I have one now and am obsessed and totally in love with making things!! Sewing rocks...and yes I'm a craft nerd now.
Peace out.
it's great, love the colours, and I am on the same road of sewing self discovery as you, sister!!!
ReplyDeleteha- my word verification was 'ilike!'
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's addictive isn't it :-)
Oh wow Tania - that is a very pretty skirt - you have done really well and good on you for working out the button holes - that is not easy (at first).
ReplyDeletelike i said, VERY pretty and like u, i never really had a hobby that lasted long. first it was letter writing, then postcard swapping but since i started sewing, i'm been hooked!! i think i found a lifetime addiction. lol :) btw, did u use cotton for this skirt?
ReplyDeleteyvy @ mistyeiz
yvy, the cherry/strawberry print is a lightweight cotton and the red is Top Pop (poplin?) both from SL!
ReplyDeleteomg, u know...i used the same materials for mine! LOL poly-cotton for the skirt panel and poplin for the border. funny how we think alike eh? :)
