I finally finished the hem on this wrap skirt two days ago. I graded them up to size 20 from a 40's skirt pattern of mysterious size I got off the bay, which fortunately turned out to be an approx size 18 pattern, so there was less grading to do than I feared. The fabric is a bright tomato red rayonpoly blend I had on hand when I decided to take a crack at the pattern. It sadly doesn't quite match my nice dark red shoes as can be seen, but according to my grandma, it doesn't matter! what think y'all?

Next time I make another, I am facing the front with another fabric instead of doing a rolled hem. Excuse the overexposed lighting and wacky pose (I was thinking it'd look nice to emulate the model's pose on the 40's pattern envelope... lol )

Aw, the pose is cute! The skirt's adorable and it looks good with the shoes. Fabulous shoes! Is that your house? It's beautiful.

JupitersDarling and Lady Day, your skirts are wonderful.

Lotus Leroux, the jacket looks fab.

I haven't been sewing lately, too busy, and I have projects piling up!!!

Great work every one. I love everything.

That skirt is darling...Miss Darling

I was tired, but instead of going to sleep, I made some skirts.
The pattern is from an 'easy sew' simplicity I have. The entire skirt is one piece of fabric. Ive made the pattern before, but this time I put a zipper in for the closure instead of buttons.

They were fun, and obscenely simple, but made of wool (center is black denim) so no summer wear. *sigh* I should of waited.

Now onto summer dresses!

[JupitersDarling]

Thanks for the compliments y'all!

LotusLeRoux, what a great jacket! The red lining gives it a little extra something.

Me too! Lady Day could give the designers on project runway a run for their money with her mad skills and excellent accessorizing sense.

I wore this yesterday to our luncheon.

This is the pattern:

It's actually a nightgown but I needed to have a dress! So I shortened it and made the back of the neck much less of a V.

The pink things on the dress are raspberries! Too cute!

Jupitersdarling... Great skirt! I think I have the same pattern!!

All those solicitors weren't about me. They were about Sally and her cleavage.

Thanks Last Chael! I definitely recommend the pattern.

JupitersDarling, and Lady Day, cute skirts!

I just finished my first swing jacket yesterday. I am happy with it for a first try. There are some things I would do differently though if I make it again.

I LOVE this jacket! Fabulous!
Jupiter, Pink, Lady Day, Lolita, and anyone else I forgot, your projects are awesome! I'm going to have to go home tonight and get cracking at my sewing projects

 

[Lady Day]

Lotus, that jacket is amazing!

Alright, this ill be my last post of new stuff for a looooog time. I have some projects non sewing related that call for my attention I just wanted to get my wardrobe out of the way first, yeah, thats it...

Made another pair of clamdigger type pants. But I ran out of zippers (drat!) so I used buttons for these two.

Here is the closure. The back folds over the front which is not really done but darned if the fit isnt tons better! I did button sides on both sides and both sides are functional. That took forever!

These pants were by accident. I found this twill hiding on my fabric shelf and I just cut them out. I had to put a gusset in these cause I cut the hips too small but they look fine with it. IT just added a bout an hour and a half to the project.

I only buttoned up one side, mainly because I was running out of buttons. I wanted to use white one for this, but didnt have enough. SO I used two kinds of pink, both modern buttons. This flap is front over back (because the fabric is heavier, and one side is stitched up) also it fastens on the left cause Im a south paw!

Thanks Ladies!
