Oh well ...

You know you're old when you no longer understand current fashion.

Well, I'm officially old.

Because I cannot possibly imagine why anyone would want to wear these camel-toe cloven hoof boots...

Or this, for that matter. Seriously? Project Runway challenge gone wrong.

A violet skirt

Just before I flew to Portugal I made a very simple - yet pretty - skirt.

A wintery violet fabric, black elastic waistband and some cyan ribbons.

The cyan ribbons match my cyan fleece jacket, cyan soft-shell jacket, cyan T-shirt, cyan umbrella, cyan earphones ... scary :-)

A simple skirt

Although summer seems to be over, it's still time to write about a skirt I recently made and happily wore in the second half of the summer. A very simple simple Jersey skirt, just the side seams and an elastic band, but it's the pattern that makes the skirt one of my favourites.

I've been wearing it with a blue T-shirt and a Maori necklace :-)

Brown wrap skirt

Last year I posted about several brown fabrics that were on my to-do pile. I used the brown linen to make a wrap skirt. Without a pattern, I just cut the fabric, sew the three pieces together, made the darts and added the belt. But the skirt was rather... dull...so I went and bought a ribbon to liven it up a bit.

I'm happy to say - it works!

Later I added the buttons. And the skirt still needs to be ironed, obviously.
