Name: Rebecca
Location:USA
Years of experience: About a year
Equipment of choice:White Jeans Machine
Specialties: I've mostly made skirts and purses so far.
Things I know I can help you with: I'm pretty good at hand gathering, also at attaching gathered fabric to non gathered fabric and making ruffles
How did you get into sewing lolita?: I started ,because brand is so expensive. Now I love finding cute fabrics and want to improve my skills.
Project Title: Kitty Sewing Room Skirt
Project Start Date: 8/26/10
Planned Finish Date: 8/26/10
Actual Finish Date: 8/26/10
Did you make changes from original plan?: I was planning to use the braid trim on the skirt, but decided that it would detract from the fabric, so I made the bow and only used the trim for the bow.
Did you discover something you want to share? Not really ...!
How happy are you with the result? (in percentage, ie 60%, 100%, 20%): 100% I think the skirt turned out well and the fit is good.
My first selfmade jumperskirt!
Project Title:Maxicimam -inspired jumperskirt
Project Start Date: 9/3/10
Planned Finish Date: didn't have one
Actual Finish Date: 9/18/10
Did you make changes from original plan?:I decided not to make ties for the back and I decided to make the back bow towards the end of the project.
Did you discover something you want to share?It's a good thing that I tried-on the straps before I added the trim, because they were too short and I ended up making another pair. I pinned pieces together and tried on the jumper at several stages of the project and I think it helped me get a better fit.
How happy are you with the result? (in percentage, ie 60%, 100%, 20%):90% I The jsk isn't perfect, but I think it turned out really good for a first attempt.
Project Title: Jewelry Skirt (It isn't so shiny in real life)
Project Start Date: 9/30/10
Planned Finish Date: I didn't have one.
Actual Finish Date: 10/3/10
Did you make changes from original plan?:Not this time.
Did you discover something you want to share?It was my first time combining a colored trim with the hem lace and also the first time that I've pleated the hem lace. I think it looked pretty good. I decided to attach it so that only the top part of the rickrac was showing, because the print was so busy.
