I actually finished this version of the Jenny skirt a couple of weeks ago but haven't gotten around to posting it. This is my wearable muslin made out of $1.99 a metre bengaline. I quite like the pattern but I thought the instructions were terrible (it seems to be a common complaint). Since I've made a pencil skirt before it wasn't that difficult. Like some others who have made this pattern, I made my own waistband piece because I didn't like the fact that it was three separate pieces cut on the bias. I think in my next version I will taper the skirt more. I would have done on this one but the fabric has no stretch and even though there's a back split I was afraid I would have to take tiny steps if I did.
New hair. I like!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the new look! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe pic is not showing on the blog at the moment for some reason but a click through shows it, and the new you!
ReplyDeleteWow you really did get a cut, that's a lot of hair to bravely lop off, AND a new colour too.
Looks great, a little shorter and it would almost be Uma Thurman circa Pulp Fiction! I loved that look and once my hair grows back intend on replicating it!
That Jenny skirt is a clever design, I have not seen one made that I did not think was flattering to the wearer, and the suspenders are so cute!
Thanks Jodi and Zoe.
ReplyDeleteBrumby- Thanks for telling me, I tried to fix it but I'm not sure if it worked.
I was kind of scared to get that much chopped off but I'm glad I did.
You would look great with the Uma Thurman hair cut.
Yeah I love the Jenny pattern, it's just a pity about the instructions. The suspenders were what sold me.
Woooooo!You are looking hot,child!!!
