What I Wore Wednesday

I had been looking all over for some chevron fabric to make myself a skirt.  I finally found some quilting fabric in a wondering store in Canberra that has so many gorgeous prints.  I've bought lots of beautiful fabrics from them before, but never with the intention of making myself clothes.

 

This is a really simple skirt - no pattern.  Just a straight band at the top (with a dart in each side) and a rectangular tube with a zip. Originally I pleated the skirt, but it sat really, really badly.  Instead of unpicking the whole skirt off the waistband, and the zip, I just left the zip and side seams attached, unpicked the pleats and just gathered fairly evenly. 

Black tops - Target and Temt
Skirt - made by me
Boots - Diana Ferrari
Brooch - gift from Lea

Here's the skirt looking a bit more summery a month or so ago.

Top - Temt
Scarf - Sportsgirl

I have another dress to share, which i made recently.  I've just had a terrible time trying to photograph it when I've worn it - thanks to long work days and short daylight hours!  Hopefully I'll get a half decent photo soon (the above photos are only half decent too!).
