I still have to tweak it a bit because it is a bit too big and a bit too long (I rolled it up for the pic)
but I am really happy with it… and with the mushroom applique…
the colours are a bit off in this pic but it shows the front better…
I just finished my first Skirt!!!
It took me 2 days to get it done and I even did my first Applique of a dragonfly…
I have to say that I am really proud of it!!! The front Material is a beige Corduroy, then a blue Paisley and then red Cord on the sides… and the same on the back…
So… a few weeks ago I wanted to sew some wrap pants… I sat down at my sewing machine, dusted the dust off and went to start…
Then, I remembered why my machine was dusty…. I got it used a few years ago and it has never worked well… I have been able to use it a few times after getting it serviced but it would quickly deteriorate after… The tension was always off, missed stiches, it would pick up the bobbin thread, birdsnests etc… each time I would sit down in front of it I would spend an hour trying to get it work and then I would just give up….
So… when I sat down and could get anything done I decided that it would be the last… I went out the next day and bought a new machine… It sews so well and has a few bells and whistles that I can’t wait to try out…
Within a day or two I sat down and made my Wrap pants to lounge around the house in…. they are amazingly comfortable…
A few days later I made a new purse/backpack.. I have been looking for one that I like for so long and all that I could find were the gaudy faux leather ones… So this was made out of some thrift store cord fabric that I found…
(it is not actually that crooked… I just was to lazy to take my wallet out to take the pics)
I may still add a front pocket or something to make it a bit less plain but I love it… it fits perfectly, it is really soft and it hangs perfectly even when full…
I have many more projects lined up now…
