Four For Friday

1.

This is Austin, wearing a cardigan she sewed out of my pattern (see tabs above to check out the pattern). She did a great job!

2. I drafted a pattern for a pair of jeans a few months ago and then made a pair. I made another pair this week, except shorts this time. 

Jeans take a lot of work. Both times I've made them it's felt like I would never finish them. But then I do and I'm so happy!

Waistband, zipper, and belt loops.




3. I ordered some clothing labels a few weeks ago, and they finally came! The jeans are the first thing I've put a label in.




4. My next project is a maxi skirt. I've been drafting the pattern today and I'm almost ready to cut one out and see how it goes. I'm pretty pumped about that.

Your turn:

Do you own a maxi skirt? Have you ever made one?

  1. I don't have a maxi skirt...I have been wanting one though. I need to find the right one...I am curvy and sometimes they just make me look fat and really wide.

  2. You have some rockin' sewing skills! Those look amazing! Pants are the hardest to make.

  4. You're amazing! I love your labels, how cute!

    I own a couple maxi skirts & I really like them. They're the kind of skirts that I can wear with a t-shirt during the week & with a nicer shirt for sundays. I'm a big fan of that kind of thing. :) Also a big fan of skirts I can wear without having to shave my legs!

  5. Cute shorts!! I love Austin's cardigan too. The color is awesome. I really want to make one of those for myself. It is perfect for the summer for nicer occasions like weddings in the evening. I really love it. And yep Maxi skirts are the best of course :)
