Hi/Low Skirt! Grandma Made It!
My daughter is usually the one sending me pics of garments to make for her, but this time it was her oldest who sent me a photo and said, "Grandma, can you make this for me, please"!
But I am blessed to have Grandchildren who call me often and invite me to various events! I also feel blessed that they actually want to wear something that I've made!
These pics were taken at her recent senior photo shoot!
Yes, she's a budding model!
I made her hi-low skirt using an Ankara Kente print that I purchased from LLD720 African Fabrics.
It is a self drafted skirt - using half circles as my template. I added an invisible zipper in the back and in-seam side pockets.
Pockets! We all need pockets!
I just completed a bonus pocket class for those who have purchased the 6 month membership program for my online classes.
Memberships and stand-alone courses are still available!
The 3rd class will be posted in January!
She and I mulled over adding horsehair braid to the hem, but in the end we decided against it. The hem is a narrow hem...oh the circle hemming! LOL!
Once I saw these photos, I knew we'd made the right decision!
The top is a RTW.
This was her Instagram post after she received the skirt!
Gotta love the expressions of thanks...especially when it's posted for all to see! 💗
I'm quite pleased with how this turned out! We did measurements only...no fittings!
I finished it and shipped it to her! She called and said it was a perfect fit!
You might remember this 2 piece dress I made for her prom! Yep! Another Ankara print!
And yes! It has pockets, too!
I'm happy with the skirt, but more importantly, I'm very proud of this young lady! 💓
Happy Endless Sewing!
