I Sew, I Knit.

Pattern Info: My first venture back into sewing for myself will be this cute pencil skirt. I have seen showcased on a few boards that I lurked and knew I had to make it. The sizes range from 4 to 16 so with these awesome curves I am blessed with I graded it between size 16 and 18. I knew I wasn't going to be able to sew today so I am hand basting the skirt while I multitask. Such a ugly word when you are trying to get in the zone, lol.  Because I will need to work on a fall wardrobe it only fitting to have classic pieces.  Material Selection: I will be sewing View C in black and View A in blue.

Oh yes, sometimes I sew for others but I have one particular fashion doll that I have started sewing for again. She is a demanding client too, so she helps me remember all things you first learn when you sew and you know we have all been there! I would place my sewing and knitting skills at intermediate. Once I master my tailoring skills in sewing then I will say expert. One of my goals is to make my son a custom suit and I want it to be absolutely perfect. So yeah, I need to step up my A game and I will.  As ...
