Looky looky at my artistic photos!! Are you impressed? :-) The boys and I are hanging out in Ohio at my in-laws' farm. I brought the camera down to the stream to take photos of the boys playing, and I had Paul snap some of me and my skirt.
This skirt isn't really new but it's newly wearable. I made it probably close to a year ago, but it turned out just too big... which I noticed after I top-stitched down the waistband. I told myself I would just belt it tight, but it was never comfortable, so right before our trip, I ripped out all the needed seams and took it in. Now, it's perfect!
The fabric is so fun. It is a cotton a friend sent to me from Hawaii. I always mean to make some tops to wear with it but haven't yet. I found this little sweater in my closet looks nice, though!
The pattern,
Simplicity 2226, came together easily. I doubt I'll make this pattern again, though. I think the gathered skirt just isn't my best look, thought I do adore the pockets for my hands and my iPod. :-)
You skirt is so pretty! I also resist alterations on my finished pieces... Why? Your hair looks great in the artistic photo :-) !
