I have been wanting to make myself some skirts. Thinking, wanting, planning... but not sewing. I mentioned that I wanted to turn the fabric into something useful to a friend. She said she would love a skirt. Suddenly, having someone to sew for and I am off. I am happy to sew for her, but wonder at myself being unable to start when it was for me... I have promised myself that I will start mine immediately after finishing hers.
I have no real clue when I bought the material or what it was for originally. I recently cleaned my sewing room and was horrified at the sheer volume of random stuff. I have been saving old/too small/broken clothing to make over into something else. So I really need to actually do it or let go of this stuff. Here is the skirt I have started, the waist band is from a fat quarter and while the casing is done I did not insert the elastic yet.
Hope your projects are going well. ~ Julia
Nothing like a bit of motivation to set your sewing mashine in motion. And yes cleaning and re-organizing that really make you realize the size of your stash. I made the same discovery recently, one of the reasons for me to join Crunchy Catholic Momma's stash bashing.
ReplyDeleteYour shirt and Butterfly both looks fancy.
She was so excited that 3 other girls - including her closest friend - were also dressed as Fancy Nancy.
