As promised some pictures of my Ginger. Sorry they are not that great, I been wearing it all day at a wedding, and she is a little wrinkled now ! I wanted shots in the day, but it just didnt happen. Ill try get some better snaps of it tomorrow to show you. I basically got up at the crack of dawn this morning to hem her and serge the hem. I must say I LOVE MY NEW SERGER !!!
I love this skirt, but I am going to need to sort the waistband - its too big around the top and is irritating me.
But - more importantly no one said, wow your skirt looks a bit home made. In fact one lady was giving it the eye in a 'oooo I like you' kind of way ! Perfect !
So, all in all pretty pleased with my first attempt at grown up dress making ! I really do like this outfit.
Now I have finished one garment, I can think about what to make next !! Exciting !!
Hope you have all had great weekends.

Fantastic! YAY! Can't wait to see what you make next!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debi ! I am not sure the pictures do it justice, but I really am pleased with it. And now things can only improve, right ? :-) Looking forward to seeing which Gatsby outfit you choose and make up !!
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely skirt. That's the sort of skirt I would find and fall in love with in Laura Ashley. You did good girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karima ! :-) I totally LOVE this skirt ! The fabric was furnishing fabric and probably not meant for sewing skirts, but that's one of the joys of sewing for me - finding a fabric I like and doing what I like with it ! I lined it with a an old sheet which feels like well worn suede against the skin. This was my first real 'me made' garment, and its one I LOVE ALOT ! x
