So...another day, another crafting exercise. This time, I'm most of the way through making a paneled skirt. It's sort of based off of this tutorial but I didn't make a pattern to make all the panels the same size/shape so it's got lots more panels than originally planned. I used three shirts:
-the black Dragonfest '99 shirt that I got from a former roommate
-the white Chinatown shirt Ronnie got me (that also had a dragon on it)
-the back of a brown shirt I got from Ronnie's little cousin's bat mitzvah a few years back
It's hitting about knee-length right now; I wonder if there's a way I can go back and ruffle up the hem to make it a little less like a pencil skirt.
I still need to make a waistband and install the bits to make it a wrap skirt.
Also, it has some weird puckers in it that I should probably fix.
DIY reconstructions thus far:
-shortened denim skirt (which I'm wearing right now!)
-resized and re-shouldered bright green Central Bucks CCAC 2006 shirt
-nearly complete paneled double dragon skirt
-the black Dragonfest '99 shirt that I got from a former roommate
