My First Skirt

the first skirt i've sewn!


I just wanted to make a simple gathered skirt. But I couldn't resist the idea of making one with ruffles. So I ended up spending the entire day making this skirt. This also gave me the chance to learn more about the sewing machine we have at home. I learned how to change the tension, as well as use additional stitches so that I could make the underside of the skirt look better.

Making a gathered skirt would have been simple. But details like ruffles make it trickier. I think that I will enjoy making a couple more of skirts for myself as experiment. Hopefully next time, I'd be brave enough to try making drawstring pants XD

My Doodles on Tegaki E

I am trying to draw with a mouse these days. Why? Because I need to doodle when I feel bored and/or stressed. If I don't do that, I'd just go insane and/or really angry.

In any case, if you're interested at how crappy my drawings are, you could check my Tagaki E account. Feel free to comment. I know my drawings aren't good so you don't have to tell me that. Maybe answer the question on the drawing or tell me what's the story behind it.

That's all for now.
