Still Skirting Around


I'm completely chuffed with all the skirts that were made as part of the Make It In May Sew-Along, and even more chuffed that there are still skirts being sewn and blogged and Flickrd right into June (I completely understand that life is really busy and it's hard to put oneself first when it comes to crafting).

So here's a little slideshow of the finishers over the last few days.

Skirt 1

Simplicity 2154 by Renae from Sew, Renae!
I'm totally in love with plaids at the moment, so I was swooning over this little number (and I love your boots too Renae). Can't wait to wear lace up boots again.

Skirt 2


Butterick 3629 by Pam from Cloth and Creation.
The addition of a frilly trim and the embroidered applique is completely adorable.



Skirt 3


Simplicity 2226 by Bron from Whippet Good (every time I read Bron's blog I end up with Devo in my head).

The skirt is gorgeous - such a great print and a fantastic colour.

Bec and Lisa both made a skirt for the sew along using this same pattern (oh, and of course this one is also on my 'to buy' list).



Skirt 4


This skirt is by Kathy from Sew-Happy House.

She designed it herself as a project for her fashion design course.

'from concept drawings, third scale design drawing, drafting a pattern, constructing a toile and creating this masterpiece'

Brilliant Kathy!



Skirt 5


Nicole from Dabbling All Day finished her freeform skirt using op-shopped linen.

Pretty and frugal - the prefect combo!



Skirt 6

You Sew Girl A-Line Skirt by Fiona from Handmade by Fiona

Fiona has made some alterations to make it less a-line to suit her shape and the result is gorgeous. Such a great fabric choice too!


Thankyou so much for joining in ladies. Hope you had fun!

Nearly the end of the month...


The Make It In May Skirt Sew-Along has been lots of fun, and it's given me some much needed motivation (and a kick up the behind) to make some clothes for myself.

I know there are still some peeps who are working on their skirts, so I'll keep posting round ups as they come in.

Here are the ones that have made it before Pumpkin O'clock (ie. the deadline)!

Skirt 1

Butterick B4461 by Marina from Wink Designs. This is such a cool design - totally up my alley. Adding it to my 'I want this pattern' list in Evernote. PS - make sure you click over to check out Marina's new boots.

Skirt 2

Nikki's You Sew Girl A-Line skirt by Mousiemouse on Flickr. Love the embellishment that runs along the bottom, and there's another fantastic a-line skirt with doileys too!

 Skirt 3

This skirt has a very sweet story. Susie from Flowerpress is teaching her daughter to sew and this skirt is their first project together.


Skirt 4

Clothkits Trellick Skirt by Tania from Myrtle & Eunice. I know she loves a last minute challenge and she certainly didn't disappoint!
 

Skirt 5

An almost finished freestyle skirt by Nicole from Dabbling All Day. I'll re-visit this one soon.


Skirt 6

The second of Nikki's You Sew Girl A-Line skirts  this time by Liz from Arty Lady. The retro fabric is completely gorgeous and this version is also fab as is gives you a great comparison in how the shorter length gives a completely different look.


Thankyou so much ladies!

I managed to finish my second skirt before the deadline, but not in time to actually take any decent photos... so I'll have to save that for tomorrow.

If you've finished and I haven't added you to the linky list on the left hand sidebar, please email me to let me know.

The Lisette Sew Along - Dabbling All Day


I have another super-cute version of the Continental Dress to show you today by Nicole.


She worked all day on Sunday, came home and made the dress from scratch, and then wore it to a picnic on Monday. How perfect!


In other exciting news.... did you know that Spotlight have a new blog?


I didn't.... until Cindy tweeted me this....

Advent Blog-a-Long Day 10...


I've been pretty slack with the christmas themed posts for the Advent Blog-a-Long. Sorry Car!

But, I definitely have something christmassy to show off today.


This is the super gorgeous handmade christmas pressie that I received from Nicole for my NCB Kris Kringle gift.

It's looking rather lonely on the poor old unpainted tree that I bought before christmas last year.... maybe this might inspire me to get out the paints?
