Yeah me! I finally finished my red three-tiered skirt. I had been lusting after it since I first saw the material, but was not willing to pay full price. I found it on sale in November (60% off -w00t!).
It took a lot of time and patience, but it's finished and I wore it to dance class today. I used 20 yards of thread just on the hem alone. There are about 10 yards of material in it, and it's heavy, but it's soft and shimmery and lots of fun to wear. It's a shiney red, with deeper red flocked swirls.. It has a few glittery sprinkles on it.
My next dance costume project is a belt. I've had the material forever. It's a sheer black with silver stars on it. It should be really pretty. Then I'll either make a black vest, or maybe a vest out of the rest of the red material, or if I get really creative, I'd like to make one that's reversible so it can be black on one side, and red on the other. We shall see what I can do.
But for now, I'm proud of my new skirt. :)
This music video is not my usual cup of tea, but it's interesting and different:
