Fabric: thin denim
Haberdasheries: none!
A while ago I made a jeans wrap skirt using the Miette pattern from
Tilly and the Buttons. Another fine example of sewing with kitty! :P She
attacked my scissors while I was cutting the pattern paper, my pencil as I was
tracing… She sneaked up on me and I noticed for the first time that I do not
hear her walk! One moment she’d be three metres away, the next, two metres closer.
Veeery relaxed sewing knowing that you might be jumped at any moment without
hearing it coming! Needless to say sewing this skirt went very quickly, too.
Hehe, Juniper isn’t a terrorcat by any means, she just gets playful
around sewing materials! And I have since learned that if I want to make things
easy for myself the best time to cut my fabric is during her afternoon nap of
four hours!
So, I did finish the skirt eventually. Apart from the feline
intervention, the pattern (which is meant for beginners) was easy and quick to
sew and the resulting skirt is very comfortable to wear, although it does freak
me out a little that the overlapping flap at the back could be lifted by the
wind when I’m outside, or accidentally be pushed aside when I move. As you can
see from the foliage I took these photos very recently :P.
