I've made another skirt this morning. Horray for weekends from school, or, as we learned in spanish friday, "Fin de semana." Anyway. It's made out of a lovely silk I had a yard of.... I know, silk for modern, but it was a VERY modern silk! What in the 18th century has raised stitching lines??? Sorry for the bad quality of pictures; I took them with the webcam on my computer. What I learned from making this skirt is that someone who's five-feet-eight-inches like me really needs more than 50 inches of fabric in her skirt. Ah, well.
I've also learned recently, just after making my 1940's pants, which I have yet to post pictures of, is that while I have a size five waist, I have size zero hips for junior sizing. That's a big difference =) Well, it's hereditary! My mum is exactly the same way! We're shaped like logs, lol! Except for fitting patterns, I really quite don't mind.
But in the last two days I've made most of a blouse (didn't work...!), a pair of wide-legged 1940's style pants (well, a wearable mockup kinda thing... If I find the whim to wear them, I can) and then this skirt. Not too shabby I don't think!
Also, I'm thinking about going out for cross-country next school year. Except for the school doesn't have a girls' cross-country team. So I suppose I'll just run with the boys....
