finished object: Frog Skirt (sewing)

Posted on November 16, 2009 by Janice

–

notes: Singer 210, polyester thread. old frog print cloth. drafted a pattern based on one of my skirts using old gift wrap. it fits, but it’s a bit awkward.

will definitely make again. need to keep to 3/8 seams – it looks like i was doing 1/2 an inch. also need to learn how to make buttons or zippers. not bad for my first sewing project.
