So because Flickr is awful, I will also present here on my less-awful blog.
Also something exciting happened last week. While I was working out something new I should make this month (as part of my challenge this May) I realised that I also wanted to hone some sewing techniques. So I did half of a zipper class on Craftsy and oh my golly goodness I learned some shiz! I really did!
Let me present my new invisible zipper foot.

And thanks to the most splendid class ever, here is my invisible zip! Can you see it? THOUGHT NOT!

Skirt - McCalls 3507
(The side story for this skirt is that I wanted to make it for FashFest on April 30, but ran out of time to finish it so finished it in time for a special birthday party in Melbourne that weekend)

The skirt in the above photo is one from the last post, and I thought it was horrible (loved the colour though). However having worn it for the day, I absolutely love it. It's comfortable, has pockets and is warm. Bring on the grey cord beast for May 10 ...
I am still working on which new pattern to challenge myself with. Stay tuned!
I know I've said it before but I really really really do LOVE your style. You make Me-Made-May look easy. So many gorgeous skirts... And an invisible zipper foot... Off to find out more about that now :)
ReplyDeleteWow Michelle that's nearly a new skirt for every day in May! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteGosh I love that lace outfit.. You and your invisible zipper did some beautiful work there.
