I've been sewing like a maniac lately and this green skirt is one of my latest creations. It wouldn't have taken long at all had I not cut half of the fabric on the wrong side and half of it on the right side (leave it to me to make a ridiculous rookie mistake).
I had a few nights of fury, picking seams and muttering rude comments to my to be skirt as I went. Sir Matt had to use ice cream to bribe me into happiness.
After a few, "You don't get how frustrating this is!" and "I put so much time into this!" and then some consequent hysterical laughing after realizing how dumb I sounded, we just made an ice cream night out of the whole fiasco.
Thank you chocolate peanut butter ice cream for saving me from my sewing demise!

It is meltdowns like these that make me fear sewing . . . although I am all to eager to take it on as I just got the sewing machine I have been asking for for Mother's Day! Your skirt is beautiful and between the lovely skirt and the ice cream, I'd say it turned out pretty darn good! ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! it's so great, good job! the whole outfit is beautiful, as are you!
ReplyDeleteOooooh yeah, chocolate peanut butter will do the trick every time.

Gorgeous skirt! I made this skirt last year. I made the one with the stripe on the bottom. My main colour was grey and the stripe was purple. I want to make another one but in a lighter fabric. Something a bit more summery I think!
ReplyDeletethat skirt is lovely - i want to make one now too!!! (too bad i don't own a sewing machine and my sewing skills are nonexistent. it's on my to-do list though!!!) i love that blouse too!!

Cute outfit! That skirt is great, glad to hear you persevered (I guess we have Sir Matt and ice cream to thank as well).
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say though, my favorite part of this outfit is your AMAZING shoes!

Isn't it insulting when the "Fast and Easy" patterns kick your ass? Or the one hour patterns take 5? Alas, your skirt turned out well! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so so cute! Definitely one that I would go for, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this outfit! The proportions, the colors, the patterns. So adorable.
