Today is one of those days that I kind of feel defeated by life. So it goes, eh? But let's talk about happy fiber-y things instead.
I made another Elemental Pencil skirt, and this skirt is like wearing air. It is a lightweight cotton knit, with just a whisper of spandex. I bought it from an etsy seller and there was no brand name attached, but it is similar to Laguna from Kaufman.
I graded up an inch on the side seams on each side because I worried it would be tight and show everything because it was so light colored, but I actually didn't need to, and probably could have stood to size down slightly, as I ended up taking off all the seam allowance I added and then some.
I also shortened this one to 26" instead of the pattern length of 29", as I wanted to see how that was for hotter weather. I think I like the look of the longer one, but the feel of the shorter one, so might try to strike a balance in the middle somehow.
In any case, a successful skirt, and a nice warm weather addition. And you won't lose me in a snowstorm--ha!
Very nice!!! So sorry for the feeling of defeat. We all have days...sending you my love.
ReplyDeleteOh - feeling defeat can be so overwhelming while it's happening. The good news is that it is bound to fade - but till it does, you have my positive vibes AND a really chic outfit. I would never have the nerve to wear this colour scheme but it is strangely neutral in its own way. You are like a sunset or a box of popsicles or Warhol painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, friend! It is a strangely neutral outfit--I like your analogies!! :)
