I Have Been Redeemed

So, after the confidence shaker earlier this week of completing the Edwardian Skirt, only to find that it did not fit, I decided to sew up the Colette Meringue I had cut a few weeks ago.  This was a fun skirt to sew.  It went together very easily and there were no snags.  I made it in a cute dragonfly print I've been saving for years, never quite sure what to do with it.  I like it in this skirt.  I think it makes an already fun piece even more so.


And, yes, that really is me in it!  I had to show that this one actually fit!  My junior photographer had a little trouble getting all of me in the lensfinder without making me look distorted, so I'm afraid a torso shot is what you get!  At least with school being out for spring break there was someone home to act as photographer! Can't wait to wear this skirt - I hear it's supposed to be warm this weekend!


Well, I feel better!  Have you ever needed to bolster yourself with a success following a sewing failure?  Thanks for looking, and thanks for your comments!

  1. That is an adorable rendition of the meringue skirt! I often sew up something like this (usually a woven blouse) after I've crashed and burned on some other project.

  3. Cute skirt! I don't call them failures. They are skill builders. I try to learn from them. Keep stitchin'. If you never make a mistake you must not be doing enough!
