I was drawn to this fabric at local Joann, but not sure how
to use it… so I passed actually buying the fabric several times.
However, I couldn’t stop being attracted to it, and when I
found the same bolt on the clearance rack for half price, I had to snatch it. (I’m
a sucker for good deals…)
The fabric pattern is not printed but woven in, so it really
doesn’t look cheap. The texture sort of
reminds me of that of Obi (waist tie for kimono) fabric.
I used Simplicity2451, one of my favorite patterns for my
quick projects. It has four pleats in
front, shaped waist yoke, and side pockets.
The pattern does not require lining, but I might add it later because
seam allowances of this particular fabric are a bit scratchy against my bare
skin.
I think this skirt could be a nice accent in casual outfits and
with natural materials like wool or linen…
Or who knows, I might go all out for holiday parties and
dress it up to create a really eye-catching outfit…! ;)

DeleteA combination of these various treatments can greatly improve the
ReplyDeleteoverall aesthetics of your teeth and smile. Frequently a
pearly smile takes the focus away from the lines around out mouth and
gives you an extra young appearance. So it seems logical that, if you are looking
for a good cosmetic dentist Miami is the place to head to.
