Not that anyone has missed them all that much, but I think it's rather fun, and it is a nice way to show a garment that you've made and wore in the past week.
Last Saturday, the sewing group that I belong to had our annual Christmas party. It was a lovely event. I wore my ribbon skirt along with a vintage beaded top and my faux fur collar.
Here's a picture of the skirt when it was in the weaving process.
The faux fur collar was done for a Thrifty Thursday post. You can see it as well as find the pattern
here.
Everyone was commenting about my hair. The truth of the matter was that I dried it without straightening it out and it was HUGE, so I pulled it up and called it a day.
The bracelet that I'm wearing is handmade, but not by me. It's a vintage piece that was made with glass buttons and then crocheted together with a gold elastic thread. All in all, a simple outfit that was fun to wear and felt so festive.

ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! If you ever have a chance, I'd love to see a closeup of the bracelet. It sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteI will post some pictures of the bracelet. It's really quite pretty. One of those accidental resale shop finds.
DeleteSuch a fun ensemble!
ReplyDeleteLove the ribbon weaving. That is my absolute favorite way to make fabric!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing, as always, and you KNOW I love your hair!
ReplyDeleteWhat holds all the ribbons together? Are they sewn to a backing?
Praying for you!
Hugs, Joy
Hi Joy, and thanks for the prayers. I can use all I can get. As for the skirt, I'm going to do a post on ribbon weaving. The ribbon is on a backing, but only seen around the outside edge of the piece once it has been woven.
Deletethe skirt (and collar) are amazing! I'll look forward to the ribbon weaving post.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say How cute your hair looked after I saw the first picture.
ReplyDeleteI did, I missed it! And you look lovely and very festive. A woven ribbon skirt. Oh my! The things you do...
ReplyDelete:) I hope you'll continue to link up your Me Mades.

ReplyDeleteYes, the skirt is brilliant. It looks so complicated. You look fantastic. Hope you had a good time. Xx
ReplyDeleteI missed me-made-monday! I like seeing people proudly wear their creations! (Mine is not from last week, though I did wear it again last week).
