New Skirt and Ebay Auction

So this skirt is finally done!  It originally had pockets, but I decided to remove them yesterday due to issues with the side seams hanging correctly given the fabric used. 

I'm really pleased with how the patchwork turned out on this one.  If you recall from  a previous post, I started out playing around with much wider strips.  None of the arrangements were appealing to me, though. 

It took a while, but soon I realized that was because the thick pieces were just too much.  They ended up being trimmed down pretty significantly. 

 The brightly colored Kente print is really nice. All of the pieces are top zig zag stitched with black thread.

I like! :)

This one hasn't been uploaded to Etsy yet, but it will be soon!

Gimme Space

Since moving I've been having just a little bit of trouble adjusting to not necessarily having a designated space to do my work. The drafting, the cutting, the sewing, the mess making…:)

On top of that, I haven't necessarily been feeling up to getting the items needed (suitable table and chair, etc.) to put me on the course towards having a comfortable work area.  Truthfully, I've mostly been doing a whole lot of nothing.

Past work spaces.

This week I intend to really put some energy behind making something happen.  I've got numerous ideas for new work but need to be able to have all my materials and equipment in a given location so I can really get down and do my thing.

Have a great week.

Peace!
