Welcome back to a new post featuring a leopard skirt I made. Some of you might remember this fabric from my stories a while ago. This rich, metallic, pleated gold leopard fabric already makes such a statement on its own that I decided to keep it simple and turn it into a classic midi skirt with an elasticated waistband.
Funny but not so funny, this fabric was so thick that my sewing machine couldn’t handle it. It felt like the needle was just poking the surface instead of going all the way through, and that was only with two layers of fabric. That’s why this skirt ended up being 100% handmade, and luckily, since the fabric doesn’t fray, I decided to leave the hem raw.
Autumn is finally here, and I couldn’t be happier. As much as I love summer dresses, I think I love cosy jumpers even more. I recently read that the Christmas market opens on the 7th of November, which makes me so excited! It’s one of my favourite places, especially with all the lights, the scent of roasted chestnuts, and, of course, the mulled wine.
Also, I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve changed my blog layout! Eeek! I’ve actually been planning it for a while, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think and if you like it. Until next time!
