Twirl. Because it is a circle skirt and circle skirts are epic fun to twirl in.
One of the many dresses I've made since I've been back! Not the first one though. I've been sewing for sanity in the past few weeks. It keeps me busy ;) I must be having a self-esteem crisis because no matter how many pictures I take, there aren't any that I would put up online of the other dresses so far! I'm still unhappy with these, but I have some work coming up and figured I wouldn't have time to take a thousand more pictures to come up with 5 decent ones. Excuse me, I'm having a moment. But I dyed my hair today and that always makes me feel like a new person. So I have hope :)
No pattern here, just threw it together on my own. Might not be creatively challenging, but something I'll wear at least! I love this jersey fabric and it was on sale at Joann's, so I bought some. I have a black circle skirt made out of the same type and just LOVE it, so I figured I would make a dress with a circle skirt as well. Nice fall dress: super soft, comfortable...correct colour scheme....
I unfortunately used the pattern I made for a circle skirt that sits on the hips instead of the waist, so it came out too big! I must have been distracted or something. The skirt is so heavy that I was planning on putting in elastic in the waist anyway, so it worked out and I don't mind the gathering. And I was going to make it with a short skirt, but I liked this length for a fall-y type dress. I don't really have any construction notes, it is a pretty simple dress. A pretty basic bodice, neck binding out of the fabric, a lot of hem to hem.....yea... I made a pattern for the bodice and sleeves, so I can use it again. Always nice to make some basics like that when you know they fit!
Comfy, comfy, comfy. All that matters!
Belt is bought and scarf was knitted last year. The one and only knitting project in my life so far. How sad.
