Sewing

First, some of my asiatic lilies are blooming. Gorgeous, IMHO.



Then a cute skirt using a charm pack of quitling fabric. I made it as a class sample, hoping to fill the class. I think it is darling. Here are the instructions for it Patchwork skirt


Then for me Simplicity 4020. I made it in sweater knit and after the first washing the sweater knit shrunk and the top was too short. Yes, I did prewash the fabric, a disappointment as I really liked the top and the sweater knit.

  1. That's a really cute skirt. I would think it would attract enough people for a class. I used to be a quilter, and miss putting together all those pretty prints and colors.

  2. Cute skirt and great top. I had the same thing happen on a recent top where it shrank a second time. Luckily I cut a deep hem allowance. I've learnt from past experience. :)

    Good luck with the wedding! Can't believe you still have time to sew.

  5. Love the asian lilies...mine are a few out from flowering, I think.

    So bad about that sweater knit...hate it when that happens! It was a cute top, too.
