My imperfect masterpiece

I have been thoroughly remiss with my blogging. But sometimes my brain gets a little overwhelmed with life stuff. Nothing to be concerned about! Just those big life questions that make all of us feel a little more introverted than normal for awhile. This pic that I snapped of Schmaf a week ago sort of illustrates the feeling nicely:



Anyway, I have been meaning to post some pics of my final sewing project! I made this amazing denim skirt:



Look at that hem!



Okay, maybe the seams don't line up exactly...



And a zipper! (Disregard the fact that the top part of the zipper isn't fully tacked down. And that the waistband doesn't meet in the middle.)



In the end, I am extremely pleased with the final product. I would definitely wear this... if the gather didn't hit me at the widest part of my hips, adding an inch on either side and about 15 extra pounds.

Lesson to be learned: Choose your pattern carefully!!

Great minds...
I was just editing my post for today and saw your comment from the other day and thought I would check out your blog. Here we are both writing about our quirky skirts.

Yours turned out lovely!

Anneke, I never thought I'd be able to sew at all! You should consider a class. It was really easy with a good teacher.
And Romina, your skirt looks fantastic in your post! Wear it with pride!!
