and another

Yesterday was a glorious spring (in the making) sunny day. I wore my skirt I made and felt wonderful.

After hearing the next day was going to be similar weather I decided to whip up another skirt to wear. It took me little over an hour and I stitched it slightly different with a little bit neater finish, though it was still a bit of trial and error. But it worked and I love it!




Go on try it yourself! Simply - Fold some material in half. I just laid a skirt I have on top of a folded piece of material and cut around it, adding a seam allowance. Pinned it together right sides facing. Sewed one side together leaving about a cm at the top. Then I pinned in the zipper on the other side and sewed the seam below it. I then sewed the zipper in, hemmed the bottom and top edges and voila a pretty skirt to wear.

I also couldn't resist making a pencil roll for my girl. It should be called texta roll as I filled it with her new set of markers. It turned out quite cute and of course I am in the process of one for my boy too, What fun.
