I have used no pattern, as I've stated earlier: patterns, whether it's knitting, crocheting or sewing, I am terrible at using them. I don't understand them. They frustrate me. Like math. So I just avoid them. Like math :)
I've never sewn anything other than trims on curtains, or small applications on stuff, or mended clothes. This is the first piece of clothing I've made. It looks ok. I won't guarantee the quality though... But practice makes perfect, and I will definitely try this again!
First, I made the upper body part and straps.
Then I sewed the straps on to the main piece, and did a single stitch trim around all the edges to give it a nice finish, and made button holes on one of the middle edges.
That was the easy part...
I cut out some fabric, and sewed a sylinder, which I then attached to the main piece, carefully making small folds. I bought this hand held sewing machine on ebay, suited for small, easy projects like these, but it was absolute crap, so I ended up sewing by hand after all.
Sewed three buttons in front, and crocheted a little trim that I sewed on the bottom of the skirt.
(This is a terrible picture, took it for demonstration, didn't occur to me to take another one before I gave it away... :( But you get the idea).
The back.
