Epic Fail

Well, maybe epic fail is an exaggeration.

I did work on the skirt, to the point of neglecting my school work (ssshhh, don't tell), and I finished it, but alas, there were two problems. One, it's too snug right below the hips (odd, I think) and the area right below the front zipper bunches. Here's a picture of the latter problem:

It's more obvious when I have it on, of course, but I didn't have time for a good shot of that. I know one thing I did wrong that is partly to blame, and I have a theory that part of the problem is also the cut of the pants. In the meantime, I wanted to update that it didn't work out, but that I did try. I took a lot of really nice, detailed shots and notes about the process, so I'll put together a series of blog posts on that for later in the week. (I have a strangely busy next few days, but my Thursday class is canceled, so I'll be back then.) I also have an idea of how to redeem the project.

The hat, on the other hand, is still a WIP. I just didn't have time for both, but hopefully an update will be coming soon on that as well.
