Santa's lost Christmas gift

gt

My Christmas break has finally begun, but before I go back in my hometown, I made a quick stop in Cluj, one of my favorite cities in this country. After a panic attack of almost losing a very early train and after long hours of travel, I have arrived tired and I slept and slept. I went yesterday for a walk, drank one delicious cup of hot chocolate with pudding texture (and whiskey cream flavor) and took photos of the brilliant decorations around the center of the city. I am only staying here a couple of days and I plan to enjoy them at best. Here I am wearing my DIY ribbon sweater I made almost a year ago (Goodness, time flies so fast!) and I felt very festive, in a joyful Christmas mood. I plan to make some goodies this holidays, let's just hope I find the necessary fabrics.

DIY Skirt

I thought of making a skirt today from fabric leftovers and I said to myself "let's make a tutorial"
I have no idea how good I am at explaining but here goes:

Take a piece of fabric about 150 cm (59.1 inches) and fold it once, you chose the lenght as you see it fit -I chose about 60 cm (23.6 inches).

Then sew where the fabric folds, so you can make the back of the skirt.

Afterwards, with the skirt still backfaced, sew along with a piece of elastic - measure your waistline for this; carefully, and stretch as much as you can the elastic so you can make the creases.

And voila!
Hope this was useful, if not, feel free to ask me questions.

P.S. Be careful in choosing your fabric. This skirt was made out of taffeta. Remember, the thicker the fabric, the more wider it will be - if you are into '50s fashion.

Just before New Year's Eve, the lovely girls from The Hearabouts posted a Do It Yourself project inspired by the Dior Fall collection and I find to be very simple to do and the result is so chic! Check it out, it's a cool way to accessorize your clothes.
I used this simple sweater and chose to put the ribbons on the sleeves and on the neckline, and I made bigger ribbons because...well, I like to exaggerate ^^
You should try it, it's fun! I am thinking of doing this to other sweaters as well.
