Hey Ya'll! I'm going to try to record all of my personal sewing explorations on this blog. Which means less consistency but hopefully long term this will lead to a more complete portfolio of my working mind. Today I'll be speaking about my Tilly and the Buttons' Arielle skirt. I really enjoyed making the skirt, and as with all Tilly patterns, the directions are clear and the product is flattering.

This is more to keep track of my own life than to suggest other people buy things in order to contribute to a capitalist society, but if you wan't to pick up any of these things, they probably won't disappoint you.
