I have been working on a skirt. But being sometimes careless, I neglected to retake my measurements before cutting fabric and sewing the initial seams and putting the zipper in. It was too small. At that point I was ready to give up and scrap this beautiful fabric I’d bought. Until Miranda, the amazing person who made my wedding dress, offered the suggestion of adding a panel or some ruffles. Because of the sewing machine being a pain in the ass and refusing to properly sew when I was doing the zipper, I had to hand sew it in and was not about to take it out for anything. Which means I was left with only one side to unpick and add something on.
Way too many ruffles later, I had a side panel. Unfortunately now the darts were off and I had to redo two of them. One dart is still off but I decided to hell with it. And my skirt is finally done! Huzzah!
I know it’s not as good as it would have been what with the doing and the undoing and the redoing, but it still turned out pretty cute.
It is VERY cute. Love the ruffles!
And, she made your wedding dress? Shut up! (It is my very favorite wedding dress of all time. ALL TIME!)
Ooh! I like the ruffles very much. I’ve been jealous of your sewing ability for years.
I think it is darling. I love ruffles. and sparkles. and glitter. and rhinestones. It would be super easy for me to be a drag queen or hooker…or vegas show girl if I just had more boobs and could dance.
Shutup! That is the cutest skirt ever! Great job dude.
That looks really good! I would have never guessed that that panel wasn’t supposed to be there.
Way to go! I applaud that you totally worked around the issues as they came. It looks great on you.
