and we’re OFF! i hereby declare that the DIY A-Line Skirt Sew-Along has begun! i am THRILLED at how many of you are into this idea and excited to participate. to get the ball rolling, here’s a little inspiration for you: 12 of my favorite skirts from the Design-It-Yourself flickr pool, which is where much of the action will take place. you can post your photos there, both process shots (especially if you need/want help or advice) and of your finished projects! i’ve started a thread there too, for questions and discussion as we go; feel free to start new threads if you have a topic to discuss… and don’t forget to tag your pics with AlineSAL as we go.
so, week 1’s project is drafting your skirt pattern. some of you have already done this, but you might just want to take some time to review the process, or even try drafting a slightly different skirt for yourself, or one for someone else, just to exercise that pattern-drafting muscle! i’m going to draft my own new pattern and stitch myself up a new skirt right alongside all of you. and it just so happens that we’re coinciding with Me Made May which is another great source of inspiration and motivation!
have fun, and i’m here if you need me. i think it’d be awesome to see some pics of patterns too, so don’t be shy about sharing those!
