*slides right back in as though she's been blogging all along.* :-)
Recently, in need of inspiration and something fresh and new, I implemented Operation Scrap Bin {OSB} where my aim was to awaken my creativity by going through my tub of fabric scraps and pieces and coming up with a new garment. The plan was 5 garments in 4 days. Well, that was over a week ago, and I've only completed one so far.
But I am in love with this one--causing me to abandon OSB altogether and focus on making more of these:
Creating this took me right back to my natural place: freestyle designing/making things up as I go. The skirt laces up because I didn't want to use elastic and didn't have a zipper. The white part of the underskirt happenend because the underskirt was far too tight for me--and likely anyone else--to get in and needed to be widened. The white part of the tie in back of the top is a result of not having enough of the printed fabric left over to make it as long as I wanted. Et cetera.
All of those elements work together to form this neat little ensemble great for the summer heat!
peace.
