Day 17  | Day 18  |
Day 19  | Day 20  |
Even on the lite version, I started to grow weary of the same combos. Enter the refashioned black pants that I hardly wear and are usual work wear. But hey, they were fine grading and packing companions on Days 17 and 20.
On Day 18, I sported the Marie skirt with an untucked shirt which helped me avoid some of the bubble-butt-tulip-action going on in the rear. I love love the pleats in the front, but I downright dislike the voluminous behind. But with comfort and pleats and the tuck-in-tuck-out business, I'm starting to like this skirt after all.
Day 19, refashioned jeans and me-made tee. I had some problems with this tee -- the edges never curled (knit too heavy) and when I made the neckband it stood up. Ugh. So I gave it a little pleat and button in front, which makes it wearable. But the fine gals at the MMM Flickr group have given me wonderful tips on sewing knits so I think I'll take the plunge again.
Graduation's today, so my attention's a bit scattered, but Happy Friday everyone!

ReplyDeleteOooh, graduation! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteNice save with the Day 19 tee :-). It looks super comfy and goes great under that cardigan. I wonder if you could tack down the back pleats of the Marie skirt?
For the pleats, you could edgestitch them on the outside, a couple of inches down from the waist? That way you still get the look and the detail, but without the extra bulk. To see if you like the look, try pinning them closed where you plan to stitch and see if that helps. You could always stitch part of the way, and if that's not enough, then stitch farther down...
ReplyDeleteYay for graduation! Congrats!
