I REALLY need to finish my Beignet skirt. I can’t wait to wear it as a part of Me-Made-May. It will go with so much!
The Beignet and I are not friends anymore. There is something about this skirt that I am not crazy about. I tried working on it last night and threw in the towel. I am not meant to wear this skirt. I have tried. And I am giving up (for now). I will get you my pretty…. Maybe the cat knows something I don’t…maybe that is why he is trying to help me by getting in my way so much so I can’t get frustrated….maybe, just maybe….
Plus, it doesn’t help that from the time that I started making this skirt, I must have put on a few inches around my mid-section and thighs (ugh) because this skirt does not seem like it will fit me. The lining and the facing are now one. I just need to hem the bottom, add the belt loops, make the belt, and add the buttons and it will be complete. Why is this skirt giving me such a headache? I’m not sure. Maybe it was my fabric choice. I have put this on the back-burner and started work on a blouse instead. Here is what I have finished so far.
Has anyone else had such issues with this pattern? On paper, it doesn’t seem like it would have been such a complicated project. Is it so simple that I am complicating it?
Oh to sew so care-free….
Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time…better give it some space! Then come back to it when you’re inspired again. Good luck!
I am so sorry you’ve encountered such obstacles with the skirt pattern. Honestly, I haven’t had such a smooth time with it myself. It’s finished- completed almost two weeks ago. It fits perfectly but the button area is all screwed up. I haven’t brought myself to write about it yet because I’m so disappointed. : ( I think my problems stemmed from my fabric and interfacing weight, but I’m not positive.
Anyway, the blouse looks adorable and perfect for spring! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
[...] rut lately but I am hoping to snap out of it soon and get back to work on my blouse that I gave a sneak peak of a while [...]
