It’s been a while since I’ve done much sewing. We recently had the floorboards polished at home, meaning I was without a sewing machine for a while. Yesterday, though, I decided that it was time I made a new tatters and rags skirt. I recently got my hips pierced, and needed some new skirts that don’t sit up on my waist.
Anyway, voila!
It took probably close to 10 hours. I spent about 1.5 hours cutting out all the tatters and rags (made from scrap fabric left over from pinstripe bombshell dresses), pinstripe suiting and satin lining. It’s actually quite heavy. There’s at least a few hundred pieces of fabric on it. The last one I made, the waistband was a triangle of velvet that tied shut at the front. This time, though, I made a proper waistband. It’s lined with stiff denim and has 8 silver grommets at the front just to give it a bit of zazz. It’s also fairly open at the front, but angles down to just above my knees at the back.
Also, I’m planning to put a few bombshell dresses up for sale soon, so keep an eye out!
