My new Sunday Best!



Since my last sewing project, I have decided, maybe i can really try to push myself harder and try to sew something new. I decided another skirt would be fun (I don't want to do something that would only discourage me, lets still keep it simple). I found a pattern that I liked and some material and went to work. The only thing that really frustrated me was putting in the zipper. It was the first time I had ever attempted this, and though it won't be my last, I don't mind waiting awhile before I have to do it again. Anyway, I thought it turned out super cute. Then I needed to complete the belt. Also, fairly easy, but a few hang-ups that made the task take longer than expected. After the skirt and belt were finished, I realized that I did not have a blouse to go with it. I kinda had a picture in my head of what kind of top I wanted, sooooooooo.....I decided to sew that as well. Here is my completed outfit, head to toe, all sewn by me! Yay! :o)

Hey...look at this...one blouse, two GREAT looks! (The blouse is actually fairly long, but I tucked it in to the skirt because it looked better, and then with jeans I am wearing it how it supposed to be worn) :o)
