DIY Flannel Lined Angled Wrap Skirt

Hello sew-friends! How are things? Would you believe that it is March and this is my first blog post of the year featuring something I made? Utterly shocking! And, at the same time, not that surprising. The delay has been part lack of time and part lack of motivation. I've been thankful to be very busy with freelance design work this year but it has cut in to my sewing time. The lack of motivation is directly cause by the lack of places to wear my makes. We're now a full year into this pandemic lockdown and I just wear the same sweatpants, leggings and sweaters every day. But, I'm feeling hopeful that we'll be able to wear our makes and enjoy the company of others in person soon.

DIY Sequin Wrap Skirt

Most of the year I sew with neutral fabrics that are easy to mix and match and just all around comfortable and dare I say, sensible. But when the holidays come around, it’s time to celebrate and sew something glamorous and not at all  sensible. This year I had a holiday party the first weekend of December that required cocktail attire. I considered wearing the sequin Mesa Dress I made last year but it felt a little over the top for this event. So I decided to make a sequin skirt and a camisole. The fabrics are full of textured fabulousness and tons of sparkle. It really made the perfect sophisticated cocktail outfit.
