Inspired By… Lace

in Inspiration on 06/05/13

Lace is EVERYWHERE these days.  From dresses, to skirts and tops – Lace is no longer just for table tops and wedding dresses..

Inspired by all the lovely white and nude colored lace outfits I have seen – I thought it was time to make a casual AND easy lace skirt. Between a few toddler naps this past weekend, I used my dress form to create a few skirt mock ups:

The long and short of it:

The longer version looked way too formal – so I decided to go with a shorter skirt length. Also, using plain old elastic at the waistband would help make the skirt more casual and fun.

Drafting the pattern – The skirt pattern is a basic rectangle. The dimensions are 21″ x 16″.  Hello legs! This is going to be a flirty short skirt..

I chose the fabric because of the scalloped edge. Number one – I don’t have to hem the skirt.. and Number two – it makes for a nice custom feature.  However, because of the scalloped hem the fabric isn’t wide enough to cut on the fold. So unlike the pattern above, the skirt will have 2 sides seams.

Stay tuned as I share the DIY steps and the finished garment.

Happy sewing

Day 1 for #marchmeetthemaker is Brand Introduction Day 1 for #marchmeetthemaker is Brand Introduction. I started out as a sewing blogger back in 2012, shortly after my first son was born. I had a lot of fun sewing and sharing baby items when my kids were super little. I love sharing sewing tutorials! My blog has been a great place to hone my skills and share the ideas in my head.

“I see sewing patterns”... I have an online store where you can download PDF sewing patterns. I studied fashion design at Ryerson University in Toronto, moved to NYC after graduation and worked as a technical designer. I love figuring out how to make things and put them together.

Block printing is my jam. I started block printing 6 years ago and it was ❤️ at first stamp. I started hosting free online zoom intro to block printing courses last December.  It has been a blast meeting people from all over the world, sharing my knowledge and having them block printing in one hour!

This photo popped up in my memories this morning. This photo popped up in my memories this morning. It was taken 3 years ago @bookhou store in Toronto. What a fun store Arounna has created.  I was so excited ( and nervous ) to visit the shop and see her designs.

Time flies and wow, how things have changed. I used to travel ALOT for work. In some ways, I miss those days of constant travel. While at the time it seemed as way too much travel and I missed my kids when I was away. Right now, what I would give to be traveling like I did then - places like Toronto, New York and Las Vegas. I always managed to get out and about and have a little fun on the side. Plus my old coworkers were fun, super goofy and so great to be around. They made the travel, trade shows and long hours easy to be with.
