Skirt FYI

I got a 48/50 on my skirt. Woot! Working on other final stuffs and my top. Got to have it done by June 3rd.

Skirt is Done!

I finished my skirt on Thursday! I ironed and took it for a test wear last light, and of course got something on it. Now, all I have to do is wash it, do my self-evaluation, and turn the project in. 1 project down, 1 to go in that class!

Skirt update

I have to finish the belt backing, hem, buttons and button holes. Talked to my teacher and told me just to hem the bottom of the skirt the way I did the sides, yay no hand stitching that much fabric! There is a dark green lining so that needs to be hemmed too.

Tote/Machine Cover

Went and got a sage on cream toile de jouy and a pre-quilted lining for it. From the patterns I've seen and from talking to my sewing teacher, I got a yard of each.

Now I just need a pattern that I like, or make my own. Would like dowel handles. I also want to flip it over to be a cover for the machine. I would also like a pocket to keep the manual or other sewing stuffs in and not fall out when flipped over, maybe velcro closing all the way across.

Anybody know of a pattern like that, that I might be able to alter?

Update

So I've been busy with school, but here are two projects I'm doing for my clothing class: Skirt A using these two fabrics: The maroon combined with the pale top in the upper right corner. I'm using a lightweight knit fabric. I have a fashion plate drawn up and colored of what it will look like which I will scan and post later.

And when I'm done with those two and I have some spare time, I have 2 more lined up. First,

the red dress style. I've got a nice black/gray/white woven fabric for it.

Second, I want to make a tote/cover for my new sewing machine. I think I'd like to make it out of Toile de Jouy fabric.

In a black, blue, or sage on cream.
