Skirts

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.

Photoshop mastery to get rid of a stack of shoes!



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!

  1. 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.
