Hello Hive

Today I made a recycle work turning a pant into this lovely circle skirt. The fabric is a frail fabric and the edge keeps breaking when I have used it to sew a pant earlier here. The crotch area of the pant became to frail that I couldn't fix in a flap or zipper. Hence this lovely apple print fabric pattern became useless and has remained in my stack of clothes for a long time.

Once in a while I look into my luggages, unstacking and putting away all the unuseful fabrics scraps, I found this and thought about what to do with it.

Since I have earlier sewn a pant with this, the fabric is to frail to stay fitted as a pant hence a free skirt might not disturb it's nature or have it frail out in any way if the hem is secured too or a a dress might work for this too .

I thought about an interesting off shoulder pattern dress where I will use this plain fabric to sew the top of the dress and mix it with the apple pattern fabric underneath .

After going through the stress to cut draft the pattern on paper here.

I went ahead to cut the plain fabric for the upper bodice of the dress.
But unfortunately for me I forgot to add extra allowances for the seam of the blouse and sewing this means that the dress will not be wearable as the size becomes smaller from a reduced measurements.

I was sad and mad at myself for making such terrible mistake. By now I have mastered a bit of sewing to have forgotten that and it could actually just mean that I wasn't paying close attention .

With this upper pieces now damaged, there is no way I can make make a dress hence I settled down to sew a skirt which I can wear with a black top to match.

So I went ahead to have cut out the pant in pieces and joined it to make it a single plain square shaped which I will be using to cut a flair of my size. By this time I made sure to weave and secure the seams and all the joinings.

This way I won't have it frail or get turn out at any point.

Here I have folded the fabric in 4 cut a flair with my waist measurement and the length I desire.

After that it was time to stitch in the waist band

After that the fabric was rescued.
The skirt might not serve for a very long time
