As much as I love sewing, clothes and other larger things tend to scare me. I tend to stick to small things like pouches and bags. I've made a simple dress before (that turned out pretty shapeless) as well as a pair of pajama bottoms, but I've never made anything I would actually want to wear. Until now!
I discovered this lovely blog (grosgrain) and the 20 minute simple skirt tutorial! Finally something I was confident making. And it really was super-easy, just a bit of cutting and sewing. What took the longest was hemming it, which really wasn't necessary. I used this magical iron-on hemming tape from the 70's that smelled like fish.
I still have the fabric for one more skirt, but I don't think I'll have time to make it before moving back to IU. Hopefully over Thanksgiving!
All in all, amazing experience and I'm super proud to wear my own handmade skirts!
