A Skirt... Made by Me!

Well, you wouldn't believe this, but I actually sewed again! I mean, I actually sewed something, and it worked! :O  I'm good at sewing things, like a ridiculous green skirt that was supposed to fit my sister, and it turns out that it fits neither of us. So it lies unfinished. Or a polka dot shirt that was too big on the shoulders, that I'm too lazy to fix and finish. So it lies unfinished. Or a...

But this time... I was quite determined to make something, and finish it. So, I decided to make the simplest skirt I could think of. I drew up a pattern with this very helpful pattern drafter. And I found a scrap of fabric in the cupboard that my mum had no use for, (and that I had been admiring for ages.) And I made a skirt, and I finished it the same night I started. And it fits me, and I'm very happy. :D I think I shall make another one.

 Do you like the fabric? The design? What have you been sewing lately?

I sewed.

You know how over there in my blurb about my self it says I like sewing? Well... I thought it was about time I did more than said I like it. Like doing it, for example. So yesterday I did some sewing. I found a piece of dark green cotton knit fabric... 

And some cute buttons...

And I made a neck-warmer. 

It was really easy. I just cut a strip of fabric 45 inches long, and 7 inches wide. Then i joined it together like a tube, turned it in the right way, made some buttonholes, sewed on some buttons, and 'Hey Presto!' I'm done! It really was that easy. 

And then I enjoyed making that one so much, I found some more cute fabric...

And i made another one for my sister.

It is knit fabric on the outside, and polar fleece on the inside.  

So... there's my sewing efforts. Super easy, super simple, super quick, super fun, and super functional. 

Have I inspired you to make one yet?
