Ist make of the year


Finally my first clothing make of the year . I started this skirt in October & finished it yesterday . It's a fully lined skirt made of quilting cotton . Very simple but glad to have finally made something !!!
I wore this skirt last night to dinner with friends . My friend said cute skirt before I even had a chance to say I had made it . I thought I had the lining a good inch shorter than the hem, but it showed when I walked in the front . So... Need to trim that off.

      Thanks - it was a quilting cotton & I loved the print . I wasn't sure if it would be too stiff, but maybe lining it helped. I made a top last year from quilting cotton & it has no drape :(

    Yay for your first make of the year!
    You asked about where to get the bag sliders on my blog. Also I'm not sure if you're the same person who asked me on twitter, but it was here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/tantalizingstitches?ref=l2-shopheader-name
    Have fun!

    Yes I am the same person - thanks . I just made a purse & think I'd like to make the handle adjustable . Just need to figure if I have enough fabric as the regular handle is finished -thanks again
