Remember the fabric for the loungepants that I showed a while back?
The fabric was very cheap (3 euro or 4,90 $/meter) so excellent to experiment a bit. I used a Simplicity pattern (3539) as a base. I haven't learned how to do zippers yet so I'm still afraid of them. I also didn't make the darts as shown in the pattern because I was using an elastic band around the waist. It worked out fine and they are comfy and fun to wear.
I didn't iron 'em for the picture - sorry! :)
As I'm an absolute beginner, I am a bit hesistant to buy expensive fabrics so I just keep experimenting with cheap fabrics. This fabric below was 5 euro or 6,50 $/meter so I wasn't really afraid to start sewing with it.
I made a skirt out of it. I made a pattern of a knit skirt that I like wearing and whipped this skirt up in about an hour and a half. *pats herself on her shoulder*I like knit/jersey fabric as it gives me the freedom to make zipperless pieces which is quite important when you're zipperanxious! :)
I think it goes really well with brown stockings and a brown shirt.
Fall can come now...
