sew more

I whipped up a knit skirt this weekend. I copied my favorite black slinky knit one I got from J.Jill in 2004. I always get compliments on it, so I thought I should make one like it. Mine is slightly different, due to a fabric shortage and the character of the knit I was using. It is a soft deep red color, sort of hard to describe (dusty cranberry?). I’ll have to take a picture next time I wear it and post it here.

I’m currently in the throws of making a brown with blue polka dots slipcover for my sofa. Pictures will be forthcoming. I’m at a standstill because the blue bias binding I am using for the piping has run out of stock at my local sewing store…But I did use those zippers by the yard for the first time, and I really, really like how those went in.
