New sewing list for me!

Only one unsewn item remains in "current sewing list" so I will write the next one! These lists motivate me pretty well!
Really my backlog of ideas, wishing and sewing plans is huuuuuuuuge! Also I have a huge box of different UFOs so I decided to include them too in my current list so not only new projects will be realized.

New projects (from scratch)

• Maxi-skirt from knit - need to draw a pattern
  
  
  
• Muslin for leather jacket
• Scarf from silk

• Burda sew-along - Raglan Shirt Burda 02/2013
• Knit skirt for my friend - need to discuss some details
• Simple bag from linen - need to buy ribbon for handle
• Simple jumper for cold summer nights form finish green fabric 
 

Refashion, changing, repair etc

Me-Made-May, 2013. Week 2.

I am going well with Me-Made-May!%) Hope, Simeon is not very tired to make my pictures almost every day! The bigger photos you can see at Flickr.

 6 May. Green jumper.

 7 May. Very famous black skirt%)

 8 May. Again BS%)

 9 May. One more time!%) I know this is boring but I don't like to have a lot of stuff in my backpack.

10 May. We are back in Russia so I am very sad. Refashioned home skirt (from second-hand dress).

11 May. Skirt from KnipMode. I have finished it just in the end of April. I am not happy with pockets so should remove them but now the skirt is used as is%)

12 May. I spend the whole day at home so again - home skirt. Also you can see my sewing place%)

From trousers to a skirt!

I suppose that everybody one day does it! I mean making a skirt from trousers%))

These were my corduroy jeans!

I like these jeans, wore them a lot so the bottoms of legs became pretty threadbare. Then I put them in my recycle box going to leave them near garbage bins. This is Russian way for recycling. But they don't want to leave me!  I decided to make a skirt. I wanted to sew new orange corduroy skirt but I didn't  find a fabric of my dream!%)) So I decided that my favorite jeans could work a little bit more for me.

The hardest part was to unpick seams%) Then I just cut extra fabric from inseam, try it one and decided that it would work! I even bought the thick thread for topstitching. Now I know that this is not my favorite part, I need more experience.

The result

Of course, this is not a perfect skirt, you can see some wrinkles, but pretty the same behave my RTW narrow denim skirts. By the way, fabric had some stretch in it, so I don't fill narrowness of the skirt. This is very comfortable skirt and I like it!%))

I made the pictures myself so nobody said
me I should to set the leggings well%))

Rear view%)

Me-made-may, 2013. Week 1.

I am participating in Me-Made-May, 2013! Till now I wear at least one me-made item every day!%)) Let's see how it will go!

So, this is first week of May. The bigger photos you can see at Flickr.

1 May. Blue dress and turtleneck. This is this outfit how it was planned.

 2 May. Orange skirt.

3 May. Black skirt. Not blogged, but I should do this!

4 May. Black skirt again. I took only 2 bottoms for my trip, so a lot of outfits with the skirt.

5 May. B-day dress. Will be blogged soon. I am not happy with the waist so may be I change it a little bit, but I will write about it in any way%)

Back to sewing and blogging!

I was at short Bavarian trip, I have 3 new me-made garments waiting to be post in my blog, also I need to add Me-Made-May,13 photos here too.

I have finished only 4 from 5 items from my sewing list (I finished my b-day dress, hura!! May be it was not perfect but i enjoyed wearing it!), so I couldn't buy any fabrics but I bought some sewing presents for myself in Munich and Nuremberg, I couldn't resist!

My b-day's presents%)

I have here 3 fabrics - linen(!) boucle for a jacket, cotton denim for a skirt, a small piece of stretchable silk for lingerie set, also some notions and one(!) Patrones. I wanted more magazines because there was a huge assortment in the shop at Munich railway station, but they cost 10 euro, and I already have a lot of  magazines, so I took only one because I like them very much%))

Now I need to write down my new sewing list!! It will be soon!
