And boy, have I been sewing! Yesterday I made three articles of clothing; not too shabby considering I've only been sewing regularly for a few months.
I'm only sharing the two things I made that aren't part of my halloween costume, since I'm anticipating you'll see that soon.
On the left, a pixie skirt I made following this awesome tutorial out of an old skater skirt and some black fabric scraps. I'm quite pleased with it!
I am equally, if not more, pleased with my beautiful new peasant blouse.
I was able to snag some gauze during the Halloween (Midnight Madness? I think?) sale at Joann's for dirt cheap. I used McCall's M5050 with some minor alterations - I left out the waist elastic and added lace at the sleeves because I ran out of fabric for them.
I am so very pleased with how this one turned out, though I may alter and shorten the neckline elastic a little bit because the way it sits off-shoulder bugs me. Apparently I did a good job on this one because my mom didn't believe me when I told her I'd made it!
That's all I made before I ran out of (good) fabric. Which reminds me, I still have about a half a yard of gorgeous spider-print fabric that I need to figure out what to make out of.... it's just so beautiful I don't want to cut it!
What have you been making lately?
I just read that same tutorial the other day! You did a great job with it. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I put a comment here but I guess it disappeared. Oh well.. xD
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the skirt! It looks great! ^^
I can't believe someone used my tutorial! It makes me so happy! c:
I also like the blouse a lot!
And I also have a spider web fabric that I am protective of.. xD It's so pretty, I don't want to cut it never ever. :'D Until I am 100% sure where I'll use it at least...
