Sewing my first pencil skirt to match my top.

Today I finally got on the machine to sew something.The summer holiday is usually a long one and I was becoming bored at home. I had told my sister that I feel like I can do well with baking seeing how people mix different Ingredients for their baking. Myself and my friend often eat a lot or doughnuts in school and I was hoping that I can use my summer holiday to learn how to bake

Having begged my sister to enrol me in a baking school we had gone round to check a few school only to realize that the fees for learning the skill was too high. My sister cannot afford that for now knowing that September comes with a lot of financial responsibility where she will have to pay a huge amount of money for my school fees.

I never liked sewing but just too keep away boredome I decided to try.
My sister is a seamstress and I have learnt how to paddle the machine from her for a long time now but I never see anything since I didn't know how to cut.

Today I have been reading a novel all day. And when I got tired I took a paper and began to ask my sister how to draw a pencil skirt

This thing looks simpler than I thought.

I love architecture in school and drawing this was like a work of architecture I was able to draw a pencil skirt of my size.

I took a satin fabric, placed the paper on it and cut out the skirt

Since I can paddle machine very well was easy to join the the front and back of the skirt on the machine.

The blue satin was not enough so I decided to pair this with a white and see if the combination of the two colors will be good for a skirt.

I used the white to cut and sew a band which I attached to the shirt.

Fixing the zipper was the hardest part for me.

I took the remaining white satin and added it to the front of my skirt.
I am so happy to sew a pencil skirt for myself for the first time.

I can't wait for school resumption to show my friends what I have sewn
