Burda Style For people who sew
Description
So you might be thinking, oh that’s a really nice striped fabric, but actually it isn’t…
I had some cut off’s of white and black gabardine sitting around so I sewed them all together to make a skirt.
Easy right?
Unfortunately no… I cut each piece the same width and was very careful with measuring the seam line, but somehow when I joined them all together at the side seams they didn’t quite match up….
And me being ever so lazy, I decided that ruffles and bright colours will distract the eye from looking at aforementioned mistakes.
Either way, I think it looks pretty good I guess!

I don’t think you would necessarily need to say anything… you could just post your amazing pics on it. maybe some process photos, everybody loves those. Just to see how other artists work is always fun.

I love this! And it looks like a really stylish dress with that top! I might hunt out some remnants this weekend!

Well it may have started as an accident but it sure ended up like a work of art! I love the understated-ness of the black and white. Sometime high contrast can get busy but you have kept it manageable and sleek, very sophisticated. I am now trying to think if I have any scraps so that I can try this technique :)
