...and I utterly forgot to photograph it all. Sigh. It was probably for the best anyway, the first time I make a pattern there are inevitably lots of mistakes & removal of stitches {three times on one skirt lol}. But now that I've got it down I will make more {I love the skirts-- very flattering & pretty & dying to be made out of fall corduroys & light wools}. Honestly, they were very simple to make & so exciting to see come together...sigh...I love clothes lol.
I have every intention of sewing another skirt this weekend, though Saturday is a race and a birthday for Thing 2. Very exciting stuff! He'll be 16-- though it will be a few months before he gets his driver's license as he got his permit late {track season before testing, at least for Thing 2}. There will be pictures~*
But in the meantime, here are a few how-tos I've collected for future reference that are too good to keep to myself!
Would you believe that rose is made out of plastic spoons?
Turn a glove into a chipmunk.
How to make dried pineapple flowers-- aren't they stunning??
How about a light bulb vase?
And I love the autumn-esque simplicity of this embroidery thread wreath!
Look for versions of these & other clever craftiness to be posts on this blog in the future! I gotta make me one of those wreaths...
Enjoy your Tuesday! Be clever!
Great projects! People amaze me with their creativity. Let's see those skirts on you, honey. :)
