How to make a skirt
It made me
feel accomplished
 "did this in elementary school and earned a girl scout badge for it :)"
How I did it: i did this in home ec, and used the sewing project to get a badge in girl scouts. my mother helped me with this. in her youth she apprenticed under a master seamstress and had this skill that because of her workaholism wasnt utilized very much. we bonded over this project and i really appreciated the time we spent together. i loved the skirt that we created as a result and to this day still feel the accomplishment of it.. :) |

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
Accomplished
How I did it: I had a pair of denim shorts that didn't fit me right, but I still liked them, so I cut the crotch apart and then cut it so the hem was even and sewed up the flaps. Then for added flair i ripped up the bottom a bit and sewed some sequins on in places. It ended up looking neat, and then later when it was too small, i gave it to a friend who was impressed to be wearing something i had made. Read how I did it…

Okay, this one’s been sitting here for quite some time now. And technically it’s been accomplished, as I made one a few months ago for a friends 50s themed birthday (a poodle skirt – so great!) but I sort of had everyday-wear in mind when I created this goal.
So now, with Summer approaching, I really want to make some simple, pretty skirts, and finally cross this one off :)

I almost successfully have finished a corset. I had this white ruffles at the bottom but they looked horrid so I ripped them off. Trying to figure out how to fit it to me perfectly right now. I didnt use any patterns so that is the diffuclty there.

Sooo i’v got a pink top that i brought. I realy like the colour. & at Easter me & some friends are going out for the night as bunnys, going to turn it into a skirt, & fix my little white tail on to it :). So this isnt a very serious project, but got to start somewhere. I’d love to learn to make everyday skirts, & going to looking into this, ones that fit me well & are individual, not like any old one you can buy in shops…well summers just around the corner! :) no better time than the present.

It took me almost a month to do, but I knit a skirt. I was so happy I bought a pair of shoes to go with – but I think I’m going to frog it and reknit it with a different yarn…

I made my skirt yesterday. Painless and I love it. I’m thinking of making a Summer dressing gown next…Dreadful photo & you can hardly see the skirt but I am jumping for joy, not just afflicted! Self timed photos are hysterical maybe I should do a whole set of them just incase my ego ever got too inflated!

I brought the material, zip, cotton and a pattern today. Now I will try and coax my antique sewing machine back to life. Love the material it is linnen with what looks like water colour flannel flowers painted on it.
