I finished sewing my skirt late on Wednesday. I only got around to taking photos this morning, but that happens.
So here it is, my third sewing project. Even though I didn't work on it everyday, it only took me about a week to complete. Overall I'm pretty happy with the result.
I haven't found any other patterns I like in my size yet, and I really adore the waistband on this, so I'm going to stick with this pattern for now and buy some more fabric. I have a couple of different variations in mind, so hopefully it'll keep me distracted for a while.
Just a short post for today, not much to say. I went to the dentist yesterday for the first time in four, maybe five years. That's very unusual for me, I used to be the 6-monthly-checkup type. But it wasn't too bad; I only needed one filling with no anesthetic, which was apparently caused by my "fashion accessories" (that's what he calls my piercings), and a smoker's stain cleaned off. The rest of the week has just been the same old monotony, but I thought I'd share these pictures anyway.
The last two photos are just of the lining and details, but I'm putting them up anyway incase anyone's interested. I'm pretty proud of the zipper; normally I struggle with them.

Bella, wooowww! This is awesome, I love the wide waistband and the paneling, especially the little square ones right at the hips, very flattering. Your construction could put some kids in my school in their place. On a variation, maybe try color blocking the waist band or some of the panels? For some reason I think this would look good in like a deep emerald or a wine red, very big for fall. Wait it's spring there...um...not sure what spring-y colors you'd like lol. But it's great dear, I want one. I love you hon, I'm glad you braved the dentist, I can't stand it, so you have more guts than me. <3

Gorgeous skirt! I'm amazed by your skills, seriously! Glad to hear the dentist went well! I often wonder if going every 6 months is really necessary. I didn't have any problems when a while back without having gone for years before that too!
