The Remnants of my Broken Dreams
are laying on the floor:
I was going to make a skirt tonight. A yellow skirt which I've been contemplating for like a year. I've watched various circle skirt videos, read about them in my books, thought about how beautiful my flowy yellow skirt would look. And yet, somehow, I missed this important part about measuring the length right. I know what I did wrong now, so you don't have to tell me (it is in regards to where where you start your measurement.). I was trying to make a knee length skirt and instead...I cut out this:
I pulled up my leggings so you could see how off I am. I mean, I can tell you exactly how much I am off. I'm off by 6.05 inches. (because that's my actual waist divided by pi times two! There is a lot of math in this sewing stuff.
Also, there appears to be a problem with the waist itself! BUT I decided if I had followed the directions, maybe that one might have fixed itself? I probably won't add a little extra to my waist "just in case" with a circle skirt, because every little extra adds a lot.
Well, that's all the pain I can take for one day. If I get the will, maybe I'll attach a fat elastic band at the top and make the tiniest hem OR add some layers at the bottom to make it longer? Any thoughts? Put them in the comments.
Sincerely,
