Yesterday Jen S. (soon-to-be a blushing bride!) joined me standing in a long line at the opening of a local Jo-Ann fabric store. We were among the first 100 people in the door, so we each got a gift card. Mine was for $20, so I picked up some ribbon for my current sewing project and I'm pondering what to do with the remaining $18.
This is my starting point. I need one skirt to match the three tops in the middle. I'm going to be backpacking this summer, and if I can get two sides of one skirt to match all the tops I'm wearing, that's less I have to pack.
I'm making it mostly out of discarded sheets.
Here's part of my progress:
Hopefully soon I can show you the finished project!
I thought the skirt was going to be bright colors! I like the mellow ones, but I was looking forward to some bold flowers.
ReplyDeleteI remember that we looked at doing some brighter colors when you were over here sewing owls. I ended up picking more based on what would match the tops I was wearing. I'm glad I did, actually, because when I sewed the two sides together I wasn't very successful in keeping the reserve side from showing along the bottom, so it's good that the sides were complimentary. Unless the two sides are lined-up absolutely perfectly, after all, a little bit of one side or the other will end up showing.
ReplyDeleteI plan to post the finished skirt tomorrow, so I'll be curious as to what you think. One side is much bolder than the other.
