After a harrowing few days of constant snowfall I enjoyed seeing the sun shine today. The light bouncing off the white snow made for a bright day indeed!
I spent most of my day in my sewing room working on some projects I started over 6 months ago, which got shelved when we moved.
So here is the one I am sharing today...(I actually used 3 pair of rip torn jeans to get 6 panels as some of the legs were torn up too)

Last year I bought an eBook on making skirt patterns for myself using my own measurements. It was easy to follow and I started with the 6 panel skirt.
This is the pattern piece I made using my own measurements:
Since this was a practice run I used jeans that were headed for the rag bag to cut my skirt from. They were ripped and stained but I figured this would be for casual wear so no big deal.
To dress it up and to cover some stains I decided to paint on some trumpet vine.
A closer view.
There is a stain near the waistline that I have not figured out what how to deal with yet. Paint more flowers or add a little pocket?
I would've modeled it for you but I have lost 10 lbs since making the pattern so the waist gapes on me now.
That is a good thing so no complaints here!
I can take it in very easily and will do so the next sewing day I get.
I also worked on a Juliet Tunic blouse. I think it will turn out big as well but it is a practice run for that pattern also, but that is another post.
Enjoy!
