1910-1919 Sewing Challenge - Edith Skirt

I made this skirt for two reasons. First, to sell on etsy. Second, to submit in A Lemon Squeezy Home's Sew Through The Decades challenge. During this challenge you try to sew something from a different decade each week (this week is 1910-1919). I'm hoping to sew something from every era. The challenge covers from 1900 to 2010. Let's see if I can do it. =)

::Inspiration::

Picture from Sense & Sensibility Patterns.

When I think of the 1910's layered skirts come to mind, as do hobble skirts. =) As this is what first came to my mind, I decided to draft a modern version of the 1910's skirts. Which you don't need to hobble in.  ;-)

::My Version::

Pattern: Drafted by me.  

Pattern Description: Ladies skirt inspired from 1910-1919 skirts.

Pattern Sizing: I made it in a size 10 (28" Waist 38 1/2" Hips).

Fabric Used: The polka-dot fabric is from Joann Fabrics. While the rose print fabric is from Hancock Fabrics. 

Would you sew it again? Yes! I love the style and it was easy to sew. Plus it has a elastic waist, which means no zipper.

AOGG Inspired Embroidered Apron

Hello everyone! As you all know, I have been an "Anne of Green Gables" mood all week. That what I picked up to sew this week has had some Anne influence. This is one of those projects, an AOGG inspired embroidered apron.  =)

Green Gables embroidered on one of the pockets. 

Lilies-of-the-Valley embroidered on another pocket.

Pattern: Sense & Sensibility Ladies' Edwardian Apron Pattern (So you all know I used the e-pattern version. Which is no different from the regular pattern, you just print the pattern out yourself at home. If you are hesitant about using an e-pattern do watch these videos. I found them most helpful.)  

Pattern Description: Ladies apron inspired from a 1910-1912 apron.

Pattern Sizing: 8-18. I made it in a size 10.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes! Though I added some changes, like embroidery. =)

Were the instructions easy to follow? Super easy. 

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It is an easy pattern that can be made in so many ways.

Fabric Used: A nice muslin from Joann Fabrics.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I added some embroidery, which I did free-hand. 

Would you sew it again? Yes! I love aprons, they are so useful.

Would you recommend it to others? Yes!

The Annie Skirt

Hello everyone!  This is Gabrielle here... ;)  I wanted to share with y'all a new skirt I sewed today and yesterday.  I LOVE it!  When I designed it two days ago, I knew I wanted a Western,  maybe a little bit of sophistication, yet utter simplicity, and I absolutely had to have lace (!!).... Well, I think I have accomplished all of that with my newest skirt... The Annie Skirt!

(Don't you love the way this photo turned out??)

Do you like it?? :D  Have a lovely Sunday and next week everyone!  I hope to have more posts soon... Hopefully.  ;)  I know I have been in the sewing mood; especially bags!!  What have y'all been sewing lately?
