Yesterday, Hanna and spent our afternoon in Berlin, walked around, enjoyed the sunny, spring-like weather and bought some fabric. We wanted to go to the new fabric market in Neukölln which takes place every Saturday afternoon, but on our way there we saw a Turkish shop which sells cotton fabric for only 1€ per meter. I bought each one meter of 5 different fabrics in beautiful, bright spring colors (those ones on the next photo except of the 4th fabric), such a good find! :) Afterwards, we went to the fabric market and I bought some laces and zippers and some jersey fabric (the fourth on the photo) for a skirt. It was such a good afternoon and I always enjoy spending as much time as possible in Berlin (it only takes me about 30-60 minutes from Potsdam to Berlin, depending on to which part of the city I want to go). <3
Just after I came home, I put all the new fabrics into the washine mashine and let them dry over night so that I was able to start sewing today. :) I made this skirt today, the first item of clothing I’ve ever sewn for myself so far. :) I didn’t use any tutorial, I just tried it according to the motto ‘learning by doing’ and I must say that I’m quite satisfied with what has come of it. :) Attaching the fabric to the webbing was not that difficult, but I had some problems with the seam on the lower edge, because I have never worked with this kind of jersey fabric before. :) Next time, I want to try it with normal cotton fabric, so I’ll go and buy some more webbing soon. :)
So what do you think, how do you like the skirt? :) I love the color, especially in combination with the coral top I’m wearing on that photo. :)
Happy Sunday evening,
Lu :)

Thank you, Claire!! :) Ohh, a pencil skirt, this musk be great! And I love those which look tike a tulip, but as you see, I'm only a beginner. :D I'll buy some more normal cotton fabric next week, because I want to try another one. Haha, so cute the expression 'sewing machine hostipal'. :D Sounds like is has a flue or something like that. :D
This is cute, well done!
I have made something a little like this but I can't say as it is still a secret. I have been meaning to show it on my blog for weeks but can't find the time to model it… ahh, I am saying too much!
Haha, can't wait for you to share photos!! :)
Great color combination! I love it too! And your skirt looks lovely even though it's your first try. I'm sure you'll make so more amazing stuff in the future! Keep practicing! ;-)
Thank you!!! :)
