So I’m putting it out there for all of the world to see. Well, only on my site for the moment, but on Etsy soon. (As soon as I can convince one of my friends to put it on and model for the camera.) This is a total experiment that I tried to have fun with. I’m teaching myself to be a little less critical of what I create. What’s the point in doing anything creative if you can’t have fun with it? I’m getting a good chance to play around with the serger, and my new sewing machine. This skirt is made from an old sweater; with a handcrafted belt made of linen which includes a decorative stitch around the top; woven white ribbons sewn in place with buttons; and ruffles edges around the base. I am interested in what all of you think of this. Please leave me a comment. Criticism accepted! P.S. I want to take some better photos of this, possibly outside, but it’s been raining here for the past few days.
