This is what I whipped up last night in some sort of sewing frenzy.
A simple Gathered skirt made from a pretty patterned fabric that I picked up in Darwin
So ladylike and easy, but most important of all comfortable!
I finished this up in less than 2 hours. There is a 5 inch hem so it hangs quite nicely.
It looks much nicer in person & with my self made petticoat that I forgot to put on for these shots
oh well... next time...
I'm going to make up another one tomorrow in a lovely teal taffeta with a few more gathers, Yay
This could be the beginning of another skirt addiction! Look out!
Thanks to Mr. Lovely again for playing photographer ox
Have a good weekend ladies and gents
What are you all sewing???
That looks great! I love gathered skirts. They are just so easy to make and are a great addition to the wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY! It looks absolutely fantastic on you and I adore that fabric. I really must make myself one of these soon!
ReplyDeleteStunning, I'm so jealous that you can pull that out in one evening. Yesterday I literally only sewed one seem.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic. Is it from a pattern? Also, what brand stockings are you wearing?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can make somthing so gorgeous so quickly! I think I spent 2 hours swearing at the pattern of the last thing I tried to make, then gave up in disgust.
ReplyDeletePretty! Me knitting..
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning - I love the stockings. I love dirndl skirts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely gathered skirt! Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteI simply love the skirt and the hosiery you've paired it with. Such a great sophisticated look and something that I don't see often with a dirndl. Gorgeous. So impressed. Wish I could steal it right off your body. With the stockings of course. Oh and the necklace.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skirt!! I keep meaning to make a decent skirt....bit being a prize slacker,I haven't!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to motivate myself to start on G's birthday outfit......instead I'm perving at fab outfits on fab gals!
