New Skirt and APs.

[serindrana]

Just took my first AP today. I think I did pretty well! One down, four to go.

Also, I finished my second skirt today:











Hand-picked zipper and fastener~



Since this wasn't a knit like the other fabric, and because I sucked sewing this up with equal fabric on each side of the seam, I couldn't do the flat-felling as nicely as I wanted to. But it will still work! Also, though it's not in the picture, I had to triple-fold a section of the hem because, once I'd double-folded and hemmed, I realized that a part was... in the wrong shape. XD It bowed out. So I folded it up and sewed it in place.



Inner facing, and this time, I GOT IT ALL RIGHT. :D

So, you can sort of see where all the pieces of thread I need to clip are... but overall, I'm far happier with this skirt than the other. :3 I fixed the problems, and it's now hanging like I wanted it to. Now that I have the shape down, time to get creative with trimmings... I have two other pieces of skirt fabric just waiting in the other room!

It's funny, today while I was wearing it and every time I looked in the mirror, I was really critical about it... but now, seeing it as a whole with me in it (despite my rather unflattering tank top XD BUT IT'S COMFY), I'm very happy with it!

Also, I have tons of awesome fabrics left over... I want to make a bag for Evelyn using them. But what sort of bag...

Faaaancy :D
What sort of top would you wear with it?
Also, baby got back. But you knew that.

A black sweater or some other type of solid neutral, I think. :3 Enough of my other skirts are neutral colored or solid that it won't be a big issue.

It was on sale, too! 100% cotton, but thick, and PURPLE PAISLEY.
