New Skirt

What did I do today? I made myself a skirt.
Remember the fabric I bought yesterday from Ursina?
Add a sewing machine - it's now a little more like this -
-

-

A pretty little A-line skirt - I also used some of the peacock feather fabric for a bit of a contrast at the waist band.

-

-

I also found a lovely big button to do up the waist but sadly no blue zips, so I've settled for a black one.

-

-

For the hems on the ends of the waistband and the bottom hem of the skirt, I persuaded the sewing machine to do this pretty stitch for a decorative hem - sadly I didn't have any blue thread for the bottom hem to match the waistband.

Now I'm wearing my new skirt!

Next project: A shift dress made from the peacock printed fabric (fingers crossed!)

(Note: skirt improvised from the A line skirt in this book)
