This is my outcome of the tutorial! Hm, I wish I had taken better pictures. I miss my pretty flowered wallpaper! Our wooden cabin is great but the windows are tiny, so I have to take pics outside.

I wore this outfit (minus boots, plus allstars and legwarmers) to a Katzenjammer concert the other night. I love the effect of the double layered tights: first layer is my mustard tights, second layer is zebra print tights. Although, as someone remarked, they could also be tiger tights now. Both are fine with me! What I like less is that it already has holes in it. How do you keep your tights from tearing? Do you have a trick or do you just buy tights you like in threefold?

I don't think I have much to add about the skirt. The fabric is a much better quality than the first skirt, although my machine did not really care about that. Stef laughed at me when I said my miniskirt was warm, but it is! It is double layered and the fabric is thick. Well, you know how it is made now, and I hope you'll let me know when you've made one!
You can put transparent nail varnish to stop a hole on a tight getting any bigger- and then sew it. That's what I generally do.
ReplyDeleteI love your wilderness backdrop! Although I suspect it'll be getting a bit chilly before long (I know my outdoor photo season is definitely coming to an end) I love the skirt, as well, but then you already knew that. One of these days I'll find time to make my own. Hmm, I have some teal wool jersey that's like that exact same colour, too...
ReplyDeleteI have no advice on the tights---one pair I bought (thick tights, not thin nylons) disintegrated on the second wearing last year, and I am still spitting nails over it. They weren't cheap, either. Argh!
Would be awesome if you make it, I think it would look really good on you! I think I'll just have to accept the fact that tights are not made to last. I'm buying transparent nail varnish today!
ReplyDeleteNice outfit!
ReplyDeletei like very much the combination of layers and colors.
Absolutely Love this skirt!!
ReplyDeleteHairspray can stop runs from spreading.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is amazing and I love that you wore it to a Katzenjammer concert! Katzenjammer are so freakin' cool!
ReplyDeleteClear nailpolish on the inside as soon as you see a hole or run seals it up nicely
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt, love you and love Katzenjammer!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing
