I think it took me about an hour to sew from start to finish (including cutting out the pieces) and I have been wearing it ever since. I can see it being a regular feature of my fall wardrobe: simp...

Jane had started talking me into this a while ago and it turned out to be a lot of fun. She's started to do quite a lot of sewing recently and has a few friends that are in about the same place. Everyone had a bit of experience but felt a little nervous venturing... Shelley Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:59:25 +0100 Teaching Skirt Sewing http://inapeanutshell.com/archive/flowers-and-a-new-skirthtml.html My sister and I went to the nursery today. I&#39;ve been avoiding it as &quot;too tempting&quot; until I had an actual reason for going. I went looking for pansies and came home with a bunch of other stuff (plus the pansies) to add colour to our front yard and some veggies to our diet.<br /><br />The green houses had posters up introducing us to their new &quot;staff&quot; of whom we saw many as we walked around looking at flowers.<br /><br /><img src="http://inapeanutshell.com/images/63/gardens...

This one probably took twenty minutes from the idea to the finished item. This is one of my favourite skirts; it&#39;s a cotton linen blend twirly skirt and it had gotten a little too small. Not so small that it actually didn&#39;t fit - that&#39;s one of the nice things about twirly skirts - it just sat a little high. On other old skirts I find this ...

I&rsquo;d meant to make a post but ran out of time.<br />&nbsp;<br />Second, How do you like my new skirt?<br />&nbsp;<br />This is the brown linen blend that I&rsquo;ve had for so long. I used the basic skirt pattern from Sew U and made it an inch wider (for more flare) and an inch shorter ...

I suppose I should have taken a before picture but I didn&rsquo;t really feel you guys needed to see my skirt on the floor around my ankles.<br />&nbsp;<br />I started by picking apart the top seam between the skirt and the lining. This is when I discovered that the fabric was actually a knit and that was why it was so stretchy. The wai... Shelley Mon, 10 Sep 2007 19:43:11 +0100 Skirt Sewing Green
