I sewed up another little skirt over the weekend:
This is New Look pattern #6345. I had a few problems, as I usually do, but I’m generally happy with the results. I don’t know how wearable or practical this skirt is going to be (I gotta tell you–nothing beats the elastic waistband skirt!), and I’m not sure the weight of the fabric is the most appropriate for this design, but eh, what are you going to do? You can’t see the fabric that well, but there are different panels and motifs, such as “school time,” “play time,” “lunch time,” etc. Heh heh.

Love your skirt!
Gosh… you are such a super-productive craftster, I am so jealous!! I live my creative life vicariously through you 🙂
yay! the skirt looks fantastic with the green piping. i love that fabric too.
The skirt is so cute! Is piping difficult to do?
Really cute! Looks great. I think one of the happy side-effects of slight problems with projects is that future projects are better. Isn’t it just so satisfying to see your work improving?
That is super freaking adorable!! 🙂
Oh I love it its so cute!
I love the retro look of this one, with the piping and little pocket flaps–are those really pockets, or just ornamental? Is ornamental a word?
Every time I come here, the urge to learn to sew gets stronger and stronger. I’m not going to be able to hold out much longer.
Another triumph! Bravo dahling. And VERY cute fabric. Are there any great great fabric stores online that I haven’t found yet? I mostly go to equilter.com and thecottonshop.net – please name drop if you know any other good ones!
i love that skirt! the fabric is fabulous!
Cute skirt, at first I thought it was an apron–but a skirt is a much better idea. Adorable material you’ve chosen too!
Gorgeous, as Always! My studio partner wants to take a tour of textile historical sites in Japan. Know any on line sites to start the Research Project? (and don’t you think we should all tag along?) My first stop would be NORO, I think.
I am always amazed by your wonderful creations. I’ve actually been thinking about learning how to knit. How hard is it to begin? I’m a resonably fast learner. 🙂
So cute! I almost bought a book about fitting your sewing this weekend. I want to learn to make them right since I know the basics.
Love your skirt.
I love your skirt! The retro look *is* very cute, as others have said. but I love sewing so much because one is gratified much more quickly. Snip, snip, zip, zip, it’s done! Very nice job, though.
That skirt is so cute! I love the pocket detail and piping.
super cute. but i’ve got to tell you i hate elastic waistbands. blech. 🙂
Wow! It’s adorable! I love the green in it too!
Tennis anyone?? Totemo kawaii yo!!
That is a kick ass skirt! The fabric is amazing and the piping detail is really cute.
This gets an “A” for “Adorable.”
That is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! I like it without the elastic waistband. (I like everything without elastic waistbands! 🙂
Cute, cute, CUTE! I love the green piping, and that fabric is amazing. And how many times at the end of dinner have I wished for an elastic waistband?
