This week in my creative space I made a skirt and used my new overlocker for the first time!!! This is a second item of clothing that I made for myself and I quite like it!
I was inspired to make the skirt after seeing the one Karyn of Make Something made using the Simplicity 2226 pattern. I flipped through my collection of Burda sewing magazines and found a very similar pattern to the Simplicity one. I figured, with a couple of adjustments I could make this type of skirt.
I think it worked. I will be making another version of this skirt, but with a few adjustments: wider waist band, slightly less gathering at the front and a bit shorter in length. I bought some Liberty of London fabric for the next version, so I can’t wait to start on it!
What have you been up to this week? {Find more lovely creativity over HERE}
