Laanie Designs

I decided that I wanted to make a layered, poofy skirt.

When I went to the fabric store I found this pink fishnet for only $1.29 a yard and so, of course, I bought some. Lining the layers up was dificult, but I learned alot about seaming. On the first and third layer I intentionally hemmed it backwards so it looks raw. On the second layer the fishnet is stitched in. On the side is a bow, and the ribbon is 1" wide.

Here are some pictures:

I made my first fleece!

Some of the major challenges were the sleeves and the zipper. All in all it was pretty easy, I just ended up breaking a needle and spending a lot more time on it than I thought. It's purple, my favorite colour, if you can't tell. It has two front pockets and a collar that also zips up. The zipper has two zipper grips, so you can leave it halfway open; from the top!

Yes, that's what my dad said. ("Are they still called suspenders?") .

I bought this wonderful belt material, with zebra print on it. Then I got three 1" spring clasps. I made suspenders with them, and so far I have discovered four different ways to wear them. My inspiration for this rad zebra contraption was my doc martins and a frilly tutu. I thought it would awesome put together. So that's what I got. I them!

Here's some pictures:
