I started and finished the skirt I talked about a couple of posts back. Even though, it's not the most complicated design ever, I feel a little proud to say that I actually did it in just one afternoon. Well, I guess it's quite possibly the most simple design for a Lolita skirt, but for someone like me who stares blankly into the air when someone says two words related to sewing, it's quite an accomplishment to finish something like that.
Halfway my mom asked me if I didn't think that "sewing was so much fun?". Not so much. There are moments when I feel like I may spontaneously combust.
I made it a bit shorter than the tartan skirt. I like this whole making my Lolita clothes. Just for casual wear anyway. It's nice to get a new skirt for just under 20$. Next I'll try to do something a little more complicated, maybe some ruffles and at some point try to do a half-elastic waist with a zipper. I've also talked to my mom about making a whole dress. I just need to find a pattern for a dress with a bodice I like.
Anyhoo, here's a picture of the skirt in action. I wore it yesterday. I was just hanging around the house, playing the piano for a while. At the moment I'm trying to learn Emilie Autumn's Shalott. It's acutally an easy song, but at the same time a bit fast paced, so it's taking longer than I'd like ;)
Yes, that's my piano. I bought it a couple of years ago and love it to bits. It could use a tuning, though :/
