Journey into Sewdonia: 90s inspired skirt



I'd like to announce that my first ever sewing project was a success. And such an adorable one at that. I'm so pumped it didn't turn out anything like Lucy's or Denise's first sewing experiences. Instead it was actually very enjoyable.

I honestly love this skirt. It's such a perfect 90s-esque flower print and I love it. I feel like I need an awesome bowler hat with some flowers attached to wear with it... As a matter of fact, that just might be my next DIY project.



As for the sewing part of it, I think it went pretty well. I bought a pattern that was initially way too big for me, and with the advice from this nice woman at Hancock Fabrics, I decided I would cut it down. Of course, by that I mean Mom would cut it down. So, needless to say there were a few fitting issues along the way, but nothing we (again, more Mom than me) couldn't handle.

I can't wait to tackle my next sewing project. Right now, it's a tie between two vintage inspired dresses that I just can't settle on. In the mean time, while I'm deciding which one to make, I think I'll make some bow ties just for funsies.
