50p sheet into an entire holiday outfit!
Yep. Fifty pence in a charity shop, you literally can't go wrong.
I made this over the summer in preparation for our big family holiday, and remember I had to ask for help with gathering over at @sewing because it was being a nightmare and I am a noob. Worked out pretty well in the end, though! (Thank you Lemmy folks for the advice)
Lots of firsts with this skirt! Well, two firsts. I put pockets into a pattern that didn't have them, and also drafted a curved waistband so it would actually fit. Felt pretty pro after all that, I won't lie š
Patterns are the Cali Skirt and Ellie Bralette from https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NHPATTERNS, and I was about to shoutout @wisbr for enabling me with that link in the first place, but she seems to have gone and now I'm sad š¢

Bonus pic for Lemmy folks since I cross-posted this from Mastodon and the silly thing only ever sends the first photo across:

@sbourne @sewing Hah, I think they were more confused about why anyone would make clothes when you can just shop for clothes instead š

@MrsDoyle Thank you! Not the sort of thing I'll get a ton of wear from at home, but then again it was only 50p š
