This past Sunday was my birthday and my future grandmother-in-law, Mimi, gave me a fabulous gift. It's something I've been wanting a very long time. She gave me a brand new Singer sewing machine. I was thrilled but let me tell you getting it up and running properly was a terribly difficult process to master. I haven't sewed since I took Home Ec and that was 10 years ago!
I'm going to start small but the reason I bring this up is because I know in my previous post I showed you a skirt with many ruffles worn by Amy Lee (of Evanescence). I love that skirt but don't know where I could find it to purchase. Instead of having a seller on Etsy make me one and charging me nearly double the cost of materials for labor (which I don't mind them doing, by the way, etsy sellers have to earn a buck some way) I decided that I'm going to try my hand at making my own skirt.
I found this tutorial to make this skirt:
The tutorial is easy to follow and maybe I won't get it on the first try but it's really a beautiful skirt and I think it would go well with the corset I posted in my previous post.
I have a year and two months til my wedding! I'm going to give myself a good 6 months to make the above skirt. If I'm unable to accomplish the making, I'll just order a skirt from the internet.
Though wouldn't it be grand to say I made part of my wedding dress?
