Cream pencil skirt as promised and tomorrow I'm going to upload all those 'the making' of's (including said pencil skirt and that halter top I made). I'm off to make a navy pencil skirt now - too many pencil skirts? Well, personally I don't think you can have too many pencils skirts :) Its such an easy design to make - but maybe I'll step put of my comfort zone and add a little embellishment? Pockets? Buttons?
And I also need to gloat a little - I just finished watching season 5 of Project Runway last night. Sorry NZ fans but I'm well ahead of you :) It now means when it finally does get here I don't need to block out my Friday nights!! This seasons designers really didn't wow me at all though, I was a touch disappointed but I did/do LOVE Kenley's style. She wore a fascinator most days and looked so cute and made me need a feather one for myself. Luckily the lovely Casey made one and has some instructions on her blog.
Feather Fascinator here I come,
Have a lovely day,

Well, I finished watching it last week, so I win ;) Hehe, got to love Youtube.
I loved Kenley too, despite her attitude. She always looked so good!
Please! I don't think there's ENOUGH pencil skirts in the world. Good luck making the navy blue one and attempting the feather fascinator.
I loved Kenley's style too until we got to the end collection. I think she could have done more to think about unifying things. I did like the wedding dress though. Yum!
gasp! I missed so many posts!
Firstly, congrats on the award yay! And your op shop bag purchase is divine. I totally hear you about op shops and their ridiculous pricing. It's revolting.
And I love you pencil skirt - keep 'em coming! :D
Man, you are cranking out these adorable pencil skirts, that is so cool! I say go crazy and add pockets AND buttons to the next one ;)
You can never have too many pencil skirts, they're classic and work with every occasion (except perhaps paintballing).
I've been looking for feathers to make a fascinator but I can't find any good ones!!!
p.s. that cream pencil skirt is so beautiful!
I also think we haven't enough pencil skirts, so yeah for the navy one!
Pockets and/or buttons I like very much. Just be carefuk with pockets brcause of the hips and think where to put the buttons, because if you'll want to wear a belt.
I've a white pencil skirt with both and I like it.
You look great in these pictures.
Project Runway on YouTub????
Must check... we're far behind....
I admire you and your skills to sew such lovely pieces.
Would you like to live in a different place, maybe on an island.... and do some sewing, for free off course... lol lol ;)
xoxo
Your clothes are fantastic! I wish I had your talent! I can hardly sew a straight line, so I usually just make creepy looking toys :D It doesn't matter if they are wonky. I am in need of a new sewing machine and I was thinking of attempting to venture into simple clothes a little, you make me want to even more! Love your style :)
I love feather fascinators and want to make one myself I just need to find some time. I think you should put pockets and buttons on the pencil skirt :) I have a love for skirts with pockets and you have such a tiny frame the pockets wouldn't overwhelm you.
I liked Kenley's designs but I couldn't stand her attitude!
Thank you so much for the blog award! Love your skirt! :o)
I love this skirt, too! These pencil skirts are great, never too many!
It's inspiring me to attempt a skirt, too, but not as complicated! :)
Oh you are being creative, and making the most of your time off! I wish I had more holiday time, so I could do homely stuff like sewing. This skirt looks great - hand-sewn hem this time? Wouldn't it be wonderful to wear fascinators regularly? I think I'll join you and try to make one too.
Thank you everyone!!
Andrea - Damn, here I was thinking I was so far ahead of little old nz-land tehee :)
Louise - I didn't hand sew it (not enough patience) but I did loosen the tension somewhat!!
So jealous you made this yourself! I love a pencil skirt, so chic.
The shape really suits you and the red/cream combo is divine.
