I MADE A THING!

 Wahooo!!!
 
 
I made something!
 
 
I finally made Deila's pencil skirt

 
Taking photos of self
=
Impossible.
 
 
But what's a girl to do
(sidebar: except never make this face again)
 
 
It has a fun kick pleat.
 
 
It has pleats
 
 
And it's made out of this amazing
velvet, octagon upholstery fabric.

 
I should have made a muslin,
because it turns out
this isn't the perfect length for me
and it's a little big.
 
 
 
As I was trying to find a place for photos
inside, it became clear we don't have one.  

 
After these snaps I altered my new skirt
by shortening it
and taking it in,
badly,
as is my tradition. 
 
 
I've got date night with the sweetie.
maybe I should road test it ce soir.

 
We will see if I murdered this effort,
or improved it.
 
But,
I MADE SOMETHING!!
 
Phew!
