After my first failed attempt at doing
bound buttonholes on my jacket, I decided to put it aside and wait a couple of days before I tried again. After all I only had enough fabric for one more try! I had fabric cut for a vintage shirt from
Simplicity 4255 but was wanting something quick and simple.
One of the projects on
my sewing list, using existing fabric and haberdashery supplies was a simple skirt following
Vogue Easy Options 8295. It was so easy to put together I can't really say much about it. I made it in time to enjoy the nice Easter weekend weather we had here in the UK.
A couple of photos with the true colours.
And a few with a washed out effect I quite like (I wanted to post all like this but thought it would be nice for you to see some with "the real colours").
