I sewed today!! It's been a while since I hit the machine, so I did a few simple things (fixing straps, etc) before trying something from semi-scratch...

This was a robe of my grandmother's originally. It didn't fit around me in the chest (and I don't need a robe), so I made a skirt out of it.


Front:


Back:


That blue in the middle of the back was the front edge of the robe. I cut it out all the way up and around the neck, disconnected it, and ended up with strips that I tied in a bow at the top of the skirt. :)

*happy*

so is it just a long blue ribbon hanging down? it looks like it might be a blue panel.

Well, it's both, kind of. Let's see if I can explain this well.

The part of the robe's edge that existed -above- the waistline is tied into a bow and has short dangling ends.

The part of the robe's edge that existed below the waistline is sewn together from the waist down to about knee level, making a full-length panel, with a slit from knees down.

Did that make sense?

How true, it's very light and airy. Oh well, I'll have it for next summer. And there are still some warm and sunny days here (I hope).
