New Skirt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the skirt a gave a sneak peak to yesterday. I on a whim wanted to recreate a skirt I saw at Urban Outfitters last week, without a pattern.  I decided to wear it to work, to see how I really felt about it. It is tough making your own clothing, I am not sure I would have bought a skirt like this. But I guess it is all about the creative process. I know now I can make a skirt if I want one, I will just need to put a little more time and effort into picking out fabric.  Everything in my wardrobe either black or goes with black. So this fabric is quite a departure for me. 

Details:

  

The applique matches the design in the fabric and the buttons are just there for flare. I feel now I have learned enough to attempt this again. With a few more modification I might have a workable pattern, of which I can create more skirts.  Wearing your creations is so different for me, instead of just giving them away I am showing the world I have made. That gives a funny feeling, again with the putting my stuff out there. Why do I find it so hard to be proud of my creations?
