My big blue skirt


One of my many crafty hobbies is sewing. Last summer I made this electric blue satin skirt! I used my amazing dressmakers dummy so I could fit it to myself and kind of made up the pattern as I went along I guess. Starting off creating two circles of fabric for the main skirt and then a reinforced waistband. Creating darts to fit the skirt to my waist before sewing them together. After fitting the zip, I realised I hadn't fitted it to the waistband and only the skirt itself so I had the chance to make some matching fabric covered buttons.




It has become one of my favourite skirts, although it isn't very practical if its windy. And I often comments that I look slightly like a disney character, but I don't think thats a bad thing! Especially when I wear it with bright red shoes in a snow white inspired outfit.
