More self-stitched stuff

This is my basic weekend outfit. The shirt is the Ruffle Top from Made by Rae's tutorial. Jennifer gave it to me last year. I think she didn't like it on her... I've forgotten now what the reason was. But it's comfy and easy to wear and I love this cardigan, so this is my typical Saturday outfit.


This is Simplicity 9825 again. This is the easiest skirt pattern ever. The fabric is so cool. It's is a soft corduroy with a fuzzy variegated thread that has been sewn down in this swirly vine design and there are little brown sequins interspersed. I got the last panels of this from Hilco. I left off the waistband from the pattern to make it sit lower. Then I cut into the skirt to make a lower waistband and put the piping in. The home front wasn't too excited. When I tried to show it off Haven said "did you make the design on the fabric?" when I said no she said, "well, then you just made a skirt." I guess it's time to move on to more impressive projects, huh?

Self-Stitched September continues!


Simplicity 9825 A-Line skirt. This skirt was made some time back and is one of my favorites. It's super soft green corduroy with a gray lining. I left off the waistband so that it sits lower and is more comfy. I cut the cord on the bias, so they come together in the middle in a "v." I love this skirt!


This one is self-drafted from the H&M skirt that had the unfortunate incident with nail polish. I love this pattern. It's narrow at the top and then the panels flare out at the bottom making the ruffle/pleat/whatever-you-call-it look at the bottom.
