This one was made while we were waiting [...]

    What my skirt looks like in front. The back view of the green skirt. This is my first time to make a skirt with a curved hemline. It’s more difficult to sew because I had to stop at certain points to make sure the stitches curve. There was also a whole of cloth involved in [...]

    Crafting Buddy: Jonette
