Brocade Top DIY
J. Crew Inspired Pleated Skirt DIY (tutorial here)
Brocade details
Skirt Donation Part 2
It took me longer than I thought (Pt. 1 here), but I finally finished the skirts I had planned for Skirting the Issue (sorry IG peeps for re-posting here) and found a local foster closet (Agape Villages if you're in Nor Cal) for the donation. If you would like to get involved, please check the list provided by Simple Simon & Co in the link above or your local charities. If you don't sew, I know mine is also accepting school supply donations for the upcoming school year.
Don't worry, I ironed before dropping them off :)
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Those skirts are gorgeous, SPG! I've been thinking that maybe I can get one or two done, but haven't had time to sit at the machine! Your top looks gorgeous and thank you for sharing a drop off location in the Bay, you are the best!

ReplyDeleteLove the print of your top. The brocade details are so pretty. I wish I have time to sew something for Skirting the Issue. You did great and I am sure whoever receives them would be delighted.
ReplyDeleteThe print of the top reminds me a lot of the Chinese "Qi Pao." Very creative in modernizing such a traditional print.
ReplyDeleteNice tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
