I am currently making corduroy pants and I bought the fabric on a whim at Joann, somehow thinking that 2 yards would be enough for pants. And it was, for everything except the fronts of the pants. Haha. So I had to go back, but my brother was rushing me and I bought 1.5 yards of more grey corduroy.
Now, did I bring a piece to match? No.
Did I get home and wash it before checking? Yes.
Did they match? No.
The second piece is slightly darker and a finer wale, so in the end I made it into a skirt. It's a Sewaholic Crescent skirt in view B in a size 2. I made no changes and didn't bother trying it on until I was done. It fit, of course.
Here is the back:
The corduroy sometimes looks weird in different light, on the yoke because the lines are pointing in different directions. It is also very poofy.Half the day, I wore my shirt tucked in and felt like a doof. The other half, I untucked my sweater but felt like a lumpy tube. I am very undecided about this skirt.
Look at that face! Gross. |
I love your skirt, very cute and perfect for fall and winter. I think I like the sweater out, I am so used to shirts and tops out I can't get used to the tucked in look!
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt! I think it looks great with your top tucked in or loose. :)
