First of all, I'd love to thank you everybody, for wishing our survival and for kicking out Japanese late departing summer. It's gone, it's gone now, phew.
As I feel like longer and slightly fuller skirts for the coming seasons this year, I sewed this tweed skirt to fill in my list for wardrobe. It is a tuck skirt in a cotton/acrylic/polyester fancy tweed with glittering silver and gold threads. I think I can wear it until it gets too cold.
I sewed this simple black top too. (This is my first black garment in the past 6 years!)
The info of the patterns I used is at the bottom of this post, if you are interested.
In this bulky skirt and the fitted black top, I look as if I start dancing, don't I? (Said that, I have never danced properly. What I can do is moving like an octopus but I don't show you how to do it. For your safety.)
Have a nice day!
love,
yoshimi

Very pretty. I'd like to make a skirt that shape. I was worried it wouldn't be flattering, but you look so great in it!
ReplyDeleteYou look very elegant in this outfit. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at the thought of an octopus dance! I love the fabric you used on the skirt.
ReplyDeleteI love the black contrast with the shape and color of the skirt! Congratulations, again, on your accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented with sewing!! very inspiring!! I need to get back into sewing.. used to do it alot years ago but go side-tracked :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fabric you used for the skirt! It fits the design of the skirt very well, and looks great with that black top!
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to sew this outfit? I seem to be stuck on a dress and just can't push forward with it. Does that ever happen to you?
And, I'm right there with you with the octopus dancing! :)
What a great outfit! Perfect for tansitional weather.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that skirt! Have you seen the catwalk for Louis Vuitton fall/winter? It had so many of these skirts: full, and slightly longer.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your fabric is gorgeous! The white and golden is so so so nice!
Love the skirt! I always love the fabric you choose!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful outfit! And I adore your shoes too...
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is beautiful. I love the softness combined with a tweedy fabric. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteHello ladies, thank you for dropping by and leaving the comments! Your comments and feedback always encourage me a lot and I can feel that there are US here. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeletekatrina, I'd say it was an weekend project. Because cutting is the most difficult and least favored step in my sewing, it rarely stops when cutting is once done. In my case, it always pauses before cutting. However no one recognizes it as a pause because it seems nothing has started at all... Let's imagine lovely you feeling pretty good in the dress, I hope it helps you to feel like finishing it!
Laurwyn, yes, yes! I am happy that my skirt reminded you something beautiful. I love checking what those fashion designers are thinking too.
Two great pieces, great together!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your outfit! It's so lovely always!
