Blog challenge & Summer Essentials Simplicity 2226

Hello, how are you? Hope you had a lovely weekend! I seem to have lost all motivation to do anything :/ I have decided to challenge myself and blog every day this month (it might be very random things) and i might use some of the 30 day blog challenges that i read about on Sam's blog :) Hopefully it will encourage me to get creative again.


Last week I did finish my second Summer Essentials item - A summer skirt. I used Simplicity 2226 a Learn To Sew pattern. Which was a great and easy pattern to sew.




I used a curtain that my friend gave me :) i keep looking at everyone's curtains, thinking what i could make out of them.




I'm really happy with the finish and fit of this skirt, the only trouble is it looks awful on me, I think the length is wrong, I have already cut it out in Navy and will make it a bit longer. I hope it turns out ok, i love this style.


Hope you have a lovely afternoon, see you tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gorgeous skirt! I love the print. I haven't sewn anything in a while either. I have been on a knitting spree lately.

That's such a cute skirt!

SO CUTE! Have you tried adding a little extra to the inside hem at the bottom, maybe a strip of lace or something to look like a petticoat? it seems a shame not to make it work somehow when it is such pretty fabric, and a lovely little skirt...

Totally pretty skirt (I know what you mean about eyeing up curtains too!)
