SEWING AND MENDING
It has been a few weeks since I have added anything to this blog.  A few weeks ago I completed some skirts and I did a lot of mending, on the average 3 things a day for awhile.  I took photos of the skirts but not the mending which consisted of altering dresses, repairing the seats of pants, and hemming dresses mainly.

Customer wanted a new skirt similar to one of her favorites.

This is a nice fabric that is a tight knit and is fully lined with a very lightweight lining.
This skirt turned out to be one of my favorite projects.  I think it is pretty and hangs nice.

 The customer wanted a reversible skirt from this unique and pretty fabric that she liked both sides of.  This was a nice project because it was challenging to make it with the amount of fabric and figure out how to make it reversible.  I made the pattern, a wrap around so I didn't have to worry about how to do a zipper and worry about how that would work for both sides.






Hand made belt loops (on each side)  made from braiding embroidery thread.
