update on the shirt…
I shirred that first shirt that I made tonight and it looks so much better!
at least in my opinion!
My first shirts!
ok… this was my test shirt just to practice putting things together etc (no pattern)… the fabric is a bit stiff (it was cheap and I bought it to practice with) and it makes me look a bit pregnant from the side… so I don’t know if I am going to try to fix it a bit so I can wear it or what…
anyway… here it is…
And then I had enough confidence to make this one… which I am pretty happy with… I was about to make it about the same style but didn’t have anymore of the same elastic… So… I got out the elastic thread and shirred it… I didn’t know how to shirr but it worked…
Now I am thinking about shirring the bodice part of the first shirt to see if that looks better…
Apron skirt…
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…
Skirt…
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…
