The Path To Seam-Stress Status

finally, after 5 lessons of learning dressmaking.


I AM A SEAMSTRESS!


as in seam-stress. stressing over seams.


well, the material for my skirt is actually quite delicate. as in if someone were to rip it off with brute force (heaven forbid), it'll come off before you could mouth the first letter of any protest or even a simple "ah!"


ok, so it isnt the material but my so-called tailoring skills. or perhaps the fact that i've machined, unpicked, machined and unpicked the seams that made it so... tearable (not that i've actually tried tearing).


and although the product isnt exactly tailored quality as its meant to be, the whole process is actually quite rewarding. i've learned the virtue of self-control cos slamming and cursing at the sewing machine wun do much good. and oh yes, the wonders of a stitch unpicker! i seriously doubt i would be still sane if not for it, considering the number of times i had to redo everything.


so there, my first piece of tearable wearable skirt. far from perfect, but still wearable.

next up : wrap skirt.


// a bit ironical, for someone who dun often wear skirts, i need to make not 1, but 2 of it!
