so i made my first skirt. was a 2 day job. and that was only really afternoons. have to say the most confusing bit was cutting the patterns in the first place. i had to fold the material 3 seperate ways cos i made a swing skirt. eugh. BIIIIIIIG pattern.
but worth it tho.
i used a polyester lining material (cos it was cheap and just the right thickness) in a chocolate brown. it was really nice to use. i managed the zip ok too. i gave up with the instructions for the zip because it sounded like jibberish and figured it for myself. which worked much more to my liking. intuition=1, stoopid instructions=0.
i havent gotten round tp takin pics yet, but i shall do just as soon as i figure where my camera has gone. hmph.
so, big big thank you to Lady Day who, quite frankly is my inspiration. her story in her website was just the sweetest tale. without her to look up to i dont think i would have even bothered. so thanks. i'm now enrolling in part time college next year for dress making.
also cheers to all t'other girlies who inspired me to get my act together with the needle and thread.
