Petticoats!

Hello lovely followers! I need a petticoat and have been on the search for one, I could sew one, but only if it is significantly cheaper because, I have so many projects still to do. I recently found a website which has the chiffon style I like. To check it out CLICK HERE.

I have recently learned there are three diffrent types of volumizing skirts. Petticoats, which are made of layers of fabric worn under skirts and dresses to add volume. 

This is the style I want becuase it is soft, and ruffley! Next, there is Pettiskirts,which are not to be worn under dresses and skirts. But to be worn, as a skirt. It's not really my style, but it could work.

Last is a crinoline, which is made with tulle or net, This one is better for a more extreme volume, however if there isn't a layer of fabric in between your legs and the tulle it is scratchy.

Which style is your favorite?

Sewing Projects

Hello Everyone! I have so many sewing projects still to do, and am putting off some summer projects until next summer since fall is coming up anyways.
1. This weekend I am going to sew a red swimsuit top, which I will pair with the Bombshell Swimsuit Bottoms, which my mom has nicely offered to make for me.

2. Next, I plan on altering my yellow vintage dress, which used to be my grandmother's wedding rehearsal dress in the early 1960s.
3. Then, I will get back to my red dress, which had been put on hold due to the bodice being huge! So, then I will get back to that.

4. Next, I will be drafting a pattern using Gertie's New book for better sewing Pattern. Specifically the circle skirt pattern, which will be nice for odd pieces of fabric I have left over from other projects.
