I'm very excited about my skirt that I plan on making out of the fabric from Ikea. I went to the fabric store and bought some supplies. But first I need to draft the pattern for my skirt. I don't want to paint the fabric until I cut out the pattern pieces as I'm planning to make the color go from light to dark (at the hem).
So I pulled out my old costuming books. I had to measure myself for that. The numbers are quite different since I've had the baby. (That's why I don't own a scale.) I'm going to draft my skirt sloper and transform it into an A-line skirt. Then I'll cut the muslin first to make sure everything fits. I can't decide if I want to put in an elastic waistband or a zipper. What do you think?
Blogging on the Brain
I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.
I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.
To make life easier, here are the links:
I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!
