I'm hoping my body will return to my pre-second baby shape a little more before I start sewing garments for myself..

Pencil skirts take a lot of strain on ...Be careful. Pencil skirts take a lot of strain on the seam at back centre when you sit. This will show as wrinkles and stress at the hipline on the side seams. You do not need a lot of patterns or lessons for this type of skirt. Two patterns will see you through a lifetime: one straight and one with a placket or kick pleat. A lining will make the world of difference, but it does not always need to be a really good lining. Something made from a lingerie jersey will work far better than silk. Choice of fabric? Cheat! Use a furnishing or curtain fabric for a sensational result. Firm weave, great print or design. Stronger threads.<br />If you are sitting during your working day, then keep those abs toned. Sounds stupid?? No!!! There will be stress on the muscles that go from the pelvis down the leg. These are countered by the abdominals. Keep these fit and strong and you will avoid sciatica in your old age. Long term planning. Also your skirts will look much better of your pelvis is in the correct position.<br />Look lovely and remember that it is your body wearing your garment. Not one without the other. <br />I enjoy following your adventures. Keep on keeping on.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-2576819848537800202014-01-30T18:52:08.716+11:002014-01-30T18:52:08.716+11:00I love the fabrics.I love the fabrics.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104321041602132083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-52662265938095545402014-01-30T16:39:36.165+11:002014-01-30T16:39:36.165+11:00That looks like a great pattern and lovely style R...That looks like a great pattern and lovely style Ros. When I was working and sewing my own clothes I opted for a pattern like that. I had a skirt in every colour. I also picked up a t-shirt style pattern with different neck lines that would coordinate with the skirts. Didn't take long to have a bulging wardrobe but didn't cost me much because fabric was always bought on sale. I'd use less than a metre per item. Good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you and your big girl.<br /><br />Anne xxDomesblissityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270409725826410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-77577462829850943772014-01-30T16:03:55.728+11:002014-01-30T16:03:55.728+11:00I love craftsy, let us know how you enjoyed the fu...I love craftsy, let us know how you enjoyed the full course! I love the pink and orange fabric as well.<br /><br />Not to mention the weather putting a stop to creative things, I have a half painted project that has been sitting around because on the rare cool days I've been busy and the others too hot for the paint to go on properly.<br /><br />Good luck to Anna, I hope she enjoys her first day at school and that Mummy doesn't get too emotional xoMel@Mellywood's Mansionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636427820882725798noreply@blogger.com
