Greetings,
On Sunday I decided to take the day off from work and sew up a couple skirts for myself. My wardrobe was starting to look a bit scarecrow-ish, so this is what I am up with.
I had a few yards of organic bamboo knit fabric in a dark chocolate brown hidden in my stash....
....for these skirts I wanted to make them a bit more interesting. So I added a little touch of medieval style to the hems.
Each look is styled in a similar way of how I would wear them. Only I would be wearing long woolen socks with the boots. Or tights. With my hair down in waves most likely.
The shortest parts of the skirts hit a few inches below my knee. Perfect for boots.
*Dragon Skirt*
For my "dragon" skirt I was inspired by a design drawn by Anne Stokes. The hem is shorter in the front than the back..just for fun.
I painted the dragon with a bronze fabric paint I had left over from my steampunk fairy costume.
I really wanted to paint the designs with a celtic green paint, but I didn't have it and think the coppery color sort of acts as a "neutral" depending on what I am wearing up top....right?
*Celtic Skirt*
For the second skirt the hem is longer on one side for a fun whimsical look. Sort of like a fairy...or some such thing. I painted the celtic trinity on it because I thought it was pretty.
All the seams are double needle style stitched to look professional and wear well.
The waistbands are elastic for a nice fit and sit low on the waist. More like on the hips. My favorite way to wear skirts.
The Rivendell pendant is from this awesome shop. Super nice seller and her work is very high quality. Check out her stuff if you are into unique items.
That 'twas just a sneak peak into my daily style.
I am trying to add more clothing items made by me to my wardrobe. Skirts are my favorite thing to wear...and boots! Ah, I adore boots. I probably have too many pairs...but I do wear them all.
Thanks for reading!
Have a magical day...
