Well, finally, pics of them skirts

Warning: Pictures out of order!

Anyhoo, this is the skirt I made over the past few days: cut out last night, and then sewn today. You can't see it, but it's a calico in a red-brown, with white lace trim and two tucks near the edge of the skirt.

I made more SKIRTS! Or, in other words, my own sewing and refashions are slowly eating away my closet space. At least it's cheap....

See! The multi-colored plaid skirt! Yes, hanging on one of the lamps. Yes, clashing horribly with my pink walls! Note dragon(s). See if you can find them!!! Also note three small pink pigs.

The green plaid skirt... no, not new. Just it had to be with the rest of its group, see.... One dragon this picture.

This one is new though!!! I made it out of this absoutely lovely fabric I had; it is very crisp and nearly shiny! It's my picnic skirt, I think.... To be worn this spring and summer, hopefully. Yes, made this afternoon.... And yes, it had to be pieced from the limited about of fabric I had but STILL! I plan to wear it with a little white cami. Maybe. =P

Fabric close up. The bias-cut is the waistband.

All four skirts were made without a pattern, only my measurements. The summer skirts hit the top of the knee in length, while the winter ones are longer. No, not exactly fashionable, but sixty or seventy years ago these were the perfect lengths, and we all know my current obsession with vintage....

a tad bit of modern sewing

I do a teeny bit of modern sewing as well. This is a skirt I bought at the store, but it was much too big (though adorable, and it fit the dress code for my school thing!) so I took a giant tuck in the waist. Note very old toys in closet and binder on bed. (obviously, I took the pictures with my mirror. I am no photographer.)
Side view, complete with extremely un-matchy tiger tee! Which I love. But not with the skirt. Note bow. I'm crazy about bows, generally...

Here's my only picture of me wearing my full-length sundress... Okay, so it's mostly of my foot... and even more of my brother's feet....

And here it is on my bed, with my huge sunglasses, which match perfectly! Like with my floral skirt, I bought this dress, but since I'm 5'8 it was obviously too short, as well as that the zipper was broken. However, loved the fabric, and since I had suddenly wanted a full-length modern dress.... home it came. For length, I added the fluffy blue ruffle out of some almost perfectly-matching cotton I had in my fabric stash, and I replaced the zipper with a new invisible one.

The ruffle. It's not as periwinkle as the flowers of the dress, but it's close, and know I've seen stuff that doesn't even match this well on commercial clothes.

Full-length. I pair it with the perfect orangey-salmon cami when I wear the dress!

Here's my green plaid skirt for this winter. It's over-knee length, which is very strange for me; suddenly I have two skirts/dress over the knee, when I haven't worn any like that for years and years! hehe. This skirt is made out of this fabulous fabric I had hanging around since summer started. Unknown content, but the skirt is modern! It's waist-high, as that is the fashion for girls right now...




And of course I needed a giant matching hairbow. I do love bows... When I say giant, it's giant. I like matching things such as this.... I now just need a pair of little black pumps to wear with it....
