Polka Dot Skirt...Simplicity 2226
Sunday, May 13, 2012
I'm in love with my new skirt!! Slowly but surely I finished a keeper!!
I coulda, shoulda, woulda had this skirt finished some time ago if it wasn't for the fact that I've been addicted to the t.v. I've been in awe over everyone's Mad Men inspired duds that I had to start watching the show. Since my cheapo dish package does not include AMC, I bought the first 4 seasons on Ebay. I've been glued to the television ever since. Somehow I pulled myself away from the t.v. today and I'm so glad I did. If I known I was going to be so excited over a skirt I would of finished it sooner. I was so into it that I sewed right through lunch and supper. I'm devouring a bag of wavy Lay's as I type.
I happened to stumble across a sew along for this skirt done by Noodlehead. Funny name huh? I have a hard time following pattern instructions at times so I found her blog to be very helpful! I finished all my seams thanks to her instructions. And her detailed pictures were awesome when it came to sewing in the zipper. Now on to the fun stuff...a shitload of pictures!! I kinda went crazy.

Super cute!!!! Great job
ReplyDeleteReally pretty! The fabric looks really nice- what kind of fabric is it? It has a lovely sheen to it.
ReplyDeleteWell done, your skirt is so great! I love polka dots :)
I'm just horrible when it comes to knowing what types of fabric I'm working with! I do know it was some sort of polyester blend. It is almost silk like.
DeleteLove the polka dots! I also joined Noodlehead's sew-a-long for this skirt, I love sew-a-longs, you learn all sorts of new tricks/tips.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! That sheen plus the polka dots makes it an uber cute skirt! Lovely photos, too!

ReplyDeleteI joined www.PatternReview.com mostly for the same reason, which has monthly challenges to keep ones sewing machine constantly on the go.
