It's wearable, but barely. I have made a few basic a-line skirts, but I want to try patterns that are a bit more flattering (the one I made really needed a wide band at the waist and pockets). Anywho! Let me know if you want to sew something together!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727515503495123569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615931725040842975.post-70547488624582850162011-07-09T13:33:19.555-05:002011-07-09T13:33:19.555-05:00I know the feeling - last wkd I downloaded the fre...I know the feeling - last wkd I downloaded the free Sorbetto top pattern from the Colette website and made one! today I made another! Have a go, I just used fabric from a couple of old dresses my mum to me as I didn't want to waste money on new fabric and they are great, I am so pleased with them.
