skirts and fairs


hey i made another skirt this morning. its out of knit fabric, so no zipper! and no need to serge seams, unlike cotton or woven fabric the whole thing is serged like a tshirt and it took me an hour from cut to finish, yay. well i havent knotted and tucked in the threads on the inside yet, just on the bottom.
its pretty comfy, im wearing it right now :) the inside is like cottony jogging pants or sweatshirt stuff i love it ♥
theres another one cut its black and white squares/grid textured knit. i might do some kind applique on it? lets see..

EDIT: ok its done! i made it and sold it to angela who graciously modeled for me:

its only got 4 pieces instead of 5, no zip special! i love this knit skirt...

also these knits arent washed so ill try n wash em after..

skull skirt custom? for a custom fit im thinking $70
but they could be $50 if i just make them sized, ready to wear kinda thing, i wouldnt have to make a custom pattern.
i dont know... but i do know i also have to wash the real nice linen fabrics i got to make skirts! yeah damn coins ;p
EDIT: i guess im dreaming. so i made a real nice one tonight (its night time now) with the freshly laundered stuff, while angela made two more skirts for herself. im doing the zipper over. its printed twill like black and white plants, leaves and more leaf systems. looks like a coloring book. 40$ ? yes! im going to send these skirts to Toronto, then they can stay in the boutique-y area of the Kapisanan Center :) ♥ *lightbulb

going to have to redo the crooked zip.


meanwhile theres a vintage car show ill be vending at in yaletown with christy!buenostyle.etsy.com, and amanda! ebbandflo.etsy.com its on the 29th.... which means i have to totally schedule my time coz Its Your Life is going to be in Toronto! people of Canada!
