My sewing machine beat me that one time, but I think I'm ready for Round 2. Let's make a skirt!
A simple-looking pattern from the 50s, featuring cute little notches by the front pockets. It's only $5--which is a steal--AND it's already my size so there won't be any math-doing.
Oh snap.
I also enjoy the fact that even if my machine goes on the fritz again mid-project, this looks basic enough that I could finish it up with Liquid Stitch if I had to. At least, I hope so, because I kind of want to make two of them: one to wear, and one to be part of my Halloween costume. (More on that later.)
What are you making lately? Anybody else trying their hand at a circle skirt? Know any sewing machine voodoo I can bust out if it fights me again?
Those are too cute! I haven't sewn anything since I was in highschool, but see that pattern makes me want to find a cute pattern myself!
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt - Good Luck - looks easy enough - famous last words! All the things going through my head right now. :-)
