Sew, Sew, Sew A Skirt, Make a Pattern Too!


Man do I feel like I've been sewing a lot lately.  This semester I am taking an Advanced Clothing Production class for my major.  I've been meaning to put a few pictures up of the sewing projects I have been making, so here they are.  For my sewing class I decided to make a Halloween Skirt for my lined project.  I wore this skirt to the Howl that I went to this year with a few of my friends.  Fun huh?!

In my class I also designed and created a half scale pattern which I then sewed to fit a mannequin.  I am quite excited how it turned out.  In fact, all of the designs that were created in my class look so awesome that they are going to be put on display at USU next week.  I'm pretty excited we get to show off all our hard work in such a cool way.  Here's my dress! 



This vintage style dress is paired with a boat neck and yo-yos placed around the waistline which make this dress a great pick for any occasion.  This article of clothing was inspired not only by the classic design of the pattern but by the unique color combination as well.
