9-28-2014 -Modified Sari -skirt
I challenged myself to make a medieval-style outfit out of the patterns we had. I chose the Sari pattern by MicheDesigns (purchased through PixieFaire.com), and even made a bell-sleeve pattern to go with it. I traced off the pieces, lengthening where I thought it necessary, and picked out some fabric from my stash (more like a pile, but anyway...). The fabric was pretty, but it was also a cheap (in more than one way) pillowcase from Walmart. Anyway, I started with the skirt because I thought that'd be easiest, then I'd go on to the bodice. I bent the part of the skirt pattern piece on the fold to create a 'V' waist.
I used some piping I found to help finish the waist. In the end, I gathered the skirt too much and made the waist-band a little too small. It fits, just not the way I originally wanted.
