Finished - Plaid Skirt With Pockets

Who cares that it isn't warm enough to actually wear a skirt? Sometimes you have to ignore the weather and make yourself happy. Bright colours and miniskirts make me INCREDIBLY happy. Another thing that makes me happy, pockets, and this puppy has two! I probably won't wear this bad boy with the jacket I made out of the same fabric but who knows...

New In - Pleated Skirt

I should probably be embarrassed by how far behind my blog is compared to my instagram. This is what happens you're super busy and a bad blogger; you get distracted and forget to post what you have. Forgive me and feast upon a newish skirt to my wardrobe.

Handmade Circle Skirt

I've decided for the next week I'm going to put up a couple of things I've sewn in the recent months. Because these were made a while ago obviously I don't have pictures of the process. I really want these projects on my blog though for cataloging purposes. Once I get these pieces up, I'll hopefully have a few projects lined up that will be more descriptive about the process. 

I made this skirt in the spring but considering it has leaves on it, it's actually the perfect fall skirt. It's just a basic circle skirt with a elastic waistband.

Diy Pencil Skirt w/Zippered Slit

Confession, I love tweed. While out at the fabric store I saw this tweed fabric and knew I had to have it. I knew it would make a greet pencil skirt but I didn't want one that was too plain. I thought a good idea to spice it up would be a leg slit. Then I thought to make things easier for myself why not use one long zipper down the front so that it's easy to put on and the zipper could be zipped up and down to decide how much leg I wanted to show.

I made the skirt very form fitting because with the horizontal lines I didn't want to look boxy. The bottom of the skirt is tapered in so that when you open the zipper to show leg it doesn't turn into an a-line skirt.

Studded Origami Skirt

I swear I'm going to start having detailed posts about my diys from now on. I have an issue with just doing my projects on a spur of the moment basis, hence never having pictures. But I made a post about my inspiration for this skirt so I thought I'd show that I had followed through on making something. I have my sketches I made before I started this skirt on my tumblr in case you're interested.

I'm thinking my next project is going to be a fun origami skirt. I believe I'm leaning towards one similar to the paisley print at the top left corner.

Skirt Inspiration

I recently visited Zara and saw this really cute skirt.

Last summer I made a skirt in a thick spandex quite similar minus the colour blocking.

Really thinking of trying this again in a thinner fabric with the colour blocking.
