KCWC day 4.

Day four! I can't believe I am saying this... but I think I need a sewing break, ha! (Can't though, I still need to make a baby gift for Saturday). I may take it easy tomorrow though, do a quick and simple project. Today's project was easy... but it was x 3!

First though, here is a modeled shot (the best I could get of the girlies) in their chevron skirts from day one.  I still want to make some kind of top or bolero for them, but here they are wearing RTW cardigans.  Can you tell the one on the left weighs a few pounds more than the other?  :)

I made three skirts from the noodle-head tutorial , the same kind as the engagement skirt , but different fabric this time around.  They are for the wedding reception, and since all the girls are unmarried and one is 12 I decided it counted for KCW.  So there.

Quick and easy like always, I have made this skirt many times before and didn't even have to look at the instructions. I went with waist x 1.5 instead of 2 to make it a little less full, I like it that way best. Hm... What to make tomorrow?

The engagement skirt.

A friend is getting married, and she asked if I would sew a skirt for her engagement photos I would be taking later that week. She brought swatches to my house and we chose these. I don't know how sure she was that they would go together, but she trusted me. I quite like them together. I loosely followed the vintage skirt tutorial from noodle-head.com. I have made it before for myself and wasn't too pleased with it because it was too full. I can't pull off a really full skirt. So when I made hers I went with 1 1/2 times the waist instead of 2 times. Unless you are a runway model I don't think I would go with 2 times, but that is just me.





Oliver + S has forever changed the way I hem my clothing. I loooove the look of their hem facing.
