The Frugal Benefits Of Finding Just The Right Pattern For Sewing A Skirt...

 

I So Enjoyed Sewing This Skirt...

Sewing can be very rewarding and so good for your wardrobe!

Once you find a pattern that fits well you can make so many

different skirts of many different pretty fabrics.

Finding a pattern that fits well and looks pretty is no easy task!

And once you get the pattern pieces cut out, that is half the work.

It is a pattern that requires a knit fabric, which is a favorite of mine;

Easy care and requires no ironing!

It has an easy fit and does not cling tightly.
The pattern that I am using is by NEWLOOK 6108
It only has 3 pieces and an elastic band for the waist!

Finding a nice blouse or top to go with each one is

sometimes a bit of a challenge.

So if I have a pattern skirt and then I need a solid top.

And finding fabric that is reasonable is all part of the journey.

This is where sewing a simple skirt can be a very frugal way to add

A very nice piece of clothing to your wardrobe!

I am no way a seamstress. But I am always learning.

I did find a real treasure while out antiquing today;

I found a look alike vintage dress for a few dollars!

So soft and feminine looking!

I am always buying fabric for aprons which is my weak spot,

And they only require a yard of material.

But, I did find a full fitted very old apron that is just beautiful!

But it is paper thin and I will need to cut out a pattern from it!
It has very petite tiny purple flowers and a beige background,
And the bias tape is the thinnest I have ever seen.
 Which is a deep purple!

I always wonder where the days go...
If an apron could talk and the stories they would tell!

In my sewing room, I have;

~Drawers of material that long to be cut out and sewed up as pretty aprons~

I did buy some very pretty yellow curtains for my living room today!

I was shocked at how bright the living room seemed!

Sunshine and Sunflowers...

I wish you all a lovely and creative season...

What are you all up to in these HOT dog days of summer?
