My grandpa brought over these old sheets to my house and when I see fabric, all I think is I can make something out of that. So I did.

That skirt is the first skirt I've ever made actually.
I had to be a zipper in because I sewed the elastic wrong hehe :)
What can I say, I'm a beginner sewer, I'll get better hopefully.
I like the zipper though, so I guess it's a win.
Inspired by you, I thrifted an amazing skirt, but I'm afraid of screwing it up. But I couldn't wait to wear it, so I did (see my blog day 2 of 30 for 30). It's like a graveyard of safety pins in there. I've been on the phone every day this week begging my mom to visit so she can teach me how to fix it for real.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the zipper as well. And the mix of prints.
that is so super cute! The zipper adds something special to it
ReplyDeleteSo crafty! I'm jealous!

for a beginner sewer, you did amazing! The pleats look really good, and I love the zipper better than elastic.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the color of it with the purple tights. Great pairing :)
