Who thought I wouldn't get a skirt done this month? Besides me? Honestly this whole skirt project is not as fun as I thought it would be, probably because most months I procrastinate and have to cram the whole project in at the end of the month. I even took the whole summer off so I shouldn't be complaining now. Even though it's been challenging at times I'm still working on ideas for next year's projects. (Hint: I probably won't be making skirts.) Here's what 2 hours of effort got me on the last day of the month:
No I didn't make the shirt, only the skirt, but the skirt looked really boring without it. It actually is kind of boring - dark gray knit with an elastic waist - but I needed something fast (since it's the 30th and all) and something that will pack well and be comfortable to wear all day.
Just for the sake of giving out too much information I'll tell you that the mirror behind the dress form is angled not so you can see the back of the skirt, because obviously you can't, but so my disaster of a sewing room is not reflected in the mirror. I took some "before" pictures of the room a couple weeks ago which I planned on posting, thinking that would shame me into cleaning things up a little. It was pretty bad though, so maybe I'll post some pictures after it's all clean and pretty. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen!
