When Bad Things happen to Good Dresses Part 342.
I had an idea for a fabric/pattern pairing buzzing around in my head and couldn't let go of it, so here we are. One of the things I love about quilting so far is that I get to putter about with colours that I wouldn't wear and/or don't suit me. That's really fun!
New blog post up now on my two Elsie skirts. Here are a final couple of upright pics of View A. This view has a fully elasticated waist, deep pockets and those two little front slits. This one is swishy heaven for anyone, like me, who enjoys sashaying their way through the day.
Here's View B of the #elsieskirt from @anna.zoe.sewing. As you can see, this one has a button placket and I also left it a little longer on my 5'6" frame (it's drafted for 5'8").
I don't often post pictures of me seated; partly because I can look like two watermelons on a pair of lolly sticks, but also because I normally forget. My photo sessions habitually comprise some "Hurry uppppp it's going to be dark in 5 minutes", followed by minor squabbling and some deep sighs. Interesting positions don't normally enter the fray, unless you count fist-shaking.
I made myself a quilt design wall! Joann is selling wide, wide felt on sale for $3.99 a yard and I only needed 3 yards to more than cover my wardrobe doors.
