I have been busy sewing sewing sewing this week! The warmer weather has also got me in a sewing frenzy as I realisation that I have no summer clothes! yikes! Well I do but all my skirts feel like the hem lines are too short! How does that happen, last year they are fine and this year a inch too short? Does that happen to you too? I recently purchased some gorgeous nani IRO fabric on etsy and have been itching to make a skirt!

I made a simple A-line skirt.... It was such lovely fabric to work with too... double voile... yum! I'm so happy with it and the length is perfect... I can't wait to wear it, which I will today :)
Hope you are having a great creative week!

Perfect skirt for summer, and in such a beautiful fabric. It reminds me that I must get stuck into some sewing for my lot xx
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt. The Japanese sure know how to make perfect skirt fabric. I have some Etsuko Furuya in the sewing room, begging me to make her into a summer skirt.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric! Perfect for a skirt, definitely.

ReplyDeletegosh that fabric is gorgeous, i bet you will just love wearing your new skirt ;)sarah
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing you about lengths...I no longer can wear short:(( fabulous fabric and very stylish skirt:)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Lamina. There's something so special about this fabric, isn't there. I'm just sad they don't produce it anymore, but maybe that's part of the charm. Enjoy wearing it x
ReplyDeletea-line is definitely my favorite, you've made a lovely skirt there! i have a machine but just never let myself get around to sewing.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Lamina! I wish I could sew my own skirts - must be so handy... (but then, I might not know when to stop!)
