So I have been organizing my sewing room & going through my pile of fabric that is just too crazy....even for me!
I bought this taffeta poly fabric last spring for who knows what reason except that I loved the colour & the sparkles. I started out making a circle dress with a fitted bodice but this fabric is hard to sew with & I had to remove the sparkles at every seam. The bodice looked funny so I scrapped that project but finished the skirt
using my own circle pattern. No complicated math here.....its basically a half circle using half my waist measurements & cut on the fold. I also made a quick cotton straight skirt for the lining.
As it is freezing cold here & to tone down the ice blue sparkles I am wearing a man blazer (as my husband calls it) with a navy blue top. I also used black bias tape for the hem & by now have no problems hemming the circle like I used to!
Where would one wear all this sparkle you ask? Why to the theater of course!
