Yes, it's that post again where I show you cute garments that I'm going to wear once before putting on jeans again! Maybe I should try hypnosis to cure myself from wearing them all the damn time. So, today's projects are 2 skirts made from old Burda magazine issues: the octopuss fabric one has a tulip-y front thanks to 4 pleats (but a very regular back). I added a bow because and I had to do a sort of cuffed hem because I forgot the allowance when I cut the skirt. The side zipper is hand sewn and I finished the waist with folded bias.

Now for the second skirt I used a very basic design, it's a pencil skirt with 2 darts at the front and the back. I used a terribly cheap remnant of synthetic fabric, the print was a little off but I managed to get it more or less straight.
Alright, have a nice weekend friends, see you!

I love, love, love the second skirt...very sexy, you should wear it on date nights with a smokin' top. You look gorgeous in it! Jeans have their place, but so does this skirt in your wardrobe, lovely work.
RépondreSupprimerYou should wear skirts more often because these fit you perfectly & look pretty! I really like the fabric design on the yellow skirt!
RépondreSupprimerThose are terrific skirts to add to your wardrobe, and both entirely different in style and fabric. NIce sewing!
RépondreSupprimerYour skirts look great, and I love the octopus fabric! I have some of it a different colorway stashed ... waiting for the perfect project to use it on!
RépondreSupprimerThank you ladies! Actually I wore the octopuss one today and the pencil one on Thursday evening AND I even wore a dress yesterday so I hope it's the beginning of a new, almost jean-free era^^
RépondreSupprimerLovely skirts!! I like to wear pants, but when I wear skirt, it makes me feel different which I enjoy:) So I hope you will feel that good feeling too! You look wonderful with skirts!
