I've finished two skirts recently and luckily we had some really warm weather this weekend, so I had the chance to wear both of them!
I am also working on the Vito sweater from We Are Knitters, my first sweater ever and it is coming along nicely!

The first skirt I made using the Easy Peasy Pleated Miniskirt tutorial from Elisalex from By Hand London. The other one is Megan Nielsen's Cascade skirt, which I will blog about later!

The pleated miniskirt was made with fabric I found in the sale bin at Fancy Tiger in Denver. I was there for a few days in april, visiting our friend Allison and we had an awesome time! Fancy Tiger is a great store, I was tempted to buy a lot there, but I had to keep the handluggage restrictions in my mind, so I left with 2 yards of this fabric for 12 dollars!
I really like this fabric and it is especially great because it reminds me of my visit! I wore this skirt yesterday, and even though it doesn't look like a miniskirt, it is pretty short!
The cops sure did notice it, when I was walking the dogs in the morning, two cops on motorbikes flirted with me, that usually doesn't happen!

I had some almost-awkward moments while shopping and trying to lift heavy things into the car with my sister.. One package weighed 68 kg's! Quite a lot for two girls to lift..

The tutorial was great and very easy to follow! The pattern lend itself to easy sewing in straight lines, the only thing I did wrong at first was the pleats, I folded them the wrong way out. I see a pattern here (Roxanne shirt, same thing!)..
I changed the ribbons for two small buttons and a pink zipper, just to give it a bright detail.
Next up: my Cascade skirt!
