I finally got back in the sewing room between canner loads! Praising the Lord for an abundant harvest this year but I'm ready to get back in the sewing room!
I made a couple of white t-shirts for the boys for Day of Atonement at our church. I'll try to get photos of those up soon. I only type this as a reminder to myself.....

This week I sewed up a skirt for Little Miss. It is from Ottobre 4/2013. It's called Tangent velveteen miniskirt #34. But I made a size 128 and lengthened it to the length of a 140. After taking it in a bunch because she has no hips to keep it up, and making major adjustments because I didn't have an invisible zipper handy, it turned out pretty well.

It was a pain making it but I'm proud of the finished product. I'm also proud of myself because finally after many, many years I feel confident enough to veer from the directions and make things work the way I want them to.
Very cute and stylish skirt! Often when I make a change, I end up saying, "Well, that was much easier and came out better than following the pattern directions!" Know what I mean? Glad to see you're getting some time at the sewing machine again. I have to do beets yet, but then I'm done with my canning/preserving. Well, except for making applesauce IF our apples have time to mature. The verdict is still out on whether they will be edible!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty skirt! Your daughter looks happy! I'd hardly looked at this pattern twice in the magazine, but I'd be more likely to make it in a longer length.
ReplyDeleteI love, love this skirt, [need to make it for my granddaughter].. The peasant top with it, is so cute too.
