Skirts with ZIPS!

Yes, you heard me right.... I have figured out how to put zips in. It's almost like learning to ride a bike... I am really that proud! =)

We had a long weekend for the Easter holiday earlier this month and I spent some time sewing - it was lovely. I'd made a trip to IKEA and stocked up on some fabric. If you enjoy sewing or just want some fantastic fabric at a great price to work with... then head to IKEA - I love their canvas fabric! They have a really large selection & great designs too!

These two skirts were my newest addition to my closet!

This skirt was fun to make. A panel skirt - looks complicated (at least I thought so) but it's rather easy and looks super cute on!



Apologies for the 'un-ironed' look, I had actually just worn this to meeting that night and decided to finally start documenting my sewing. =)


This skirt is crazy & I love it. Super bright colours and just a bit out there. It's a great skirt - because it's the 'feature' so you can toss on a simple black top & plain shoes and you have a unique outfit! *love*



I'm working out all the features & cool gadgets on my sewing machine and I've been having fun with the 'stitching' options .... by adding this great 'lace' boarder and then some yellow stitching on top, I thought it added a bit of 'funk' to the skirt!
