Get an 'Eiffel' of these Skirts....

I was a bit busy last week to do a lot of sewing but I did manage to make two. *phew* hey?

The first one I made was with fabric from my local IKEA (of course) and I was quite happy with the outcome.  I'm going to make a couple of skirts in this fabric in a couple of different sizes.  Nice too for me to be wearing a different coloured tshirt rather than black (it's grey).  I hope too, that you like my baby model whilst I took a photo of my bee hind. ;P

During the week I had an idea of jazzing up plain skirts, after me trying with this skirt last week.  I got my hands on some different black fabric from a little seller in Abu Dhabi, the same guy I purchase my zips from.  It's a heavier but comfortable black fabric, though I had to buy the stuff by the yard (soooo old school).

Back at home I made a quick template of the Eiffel Tower, copying a photo I had taken of the tower back in 2000.  I dug out some red fabric and cut out, then sewed on the 'tower' via a small zig-zag stitch onto the black skirt....

I have more ideas flowing around in my brain in regards to cutting out shapes, adding stuff etc., so I hope that they turn out as well as I imagine in my head.  Lol.  Today I wore this skirt with a white with thin black horizontal striped t.  I felt very 'french'.  Ooo la la. 


Stay tuned for more, but only of course if they're successful outcomes.
