Hello friends! Today I bring news of my first project; yes that’s right! I’ve finally started a project and I’m ready to start talking about it.

For my first project, I wanted to make something pretty basic and simple that allowed me to get a grip on my sewing skills. So, drumroll please, I am making a Burda skirt!

My Mum actually bought me this pattern piece a year ago and I’ve been really hesitant about starting it and using it. I think it’s all been part of the imposter syndrome fear I’ve been feeling. I finally decided to stop procrastinating and just do it!

For fabric, I’m using this thin denim with a heart pattern on it. I love this pattern, it’s basic, cute and is a pretty easy fabric to work with. I know it’s denim, but it’s thin enough that is is more similar to poly-cotton so working with the fabric should be pretty easy. In case it does get a little thicker than intented, a while ago I bought some thicker denim needles so we’re all prepped up on that.

I’ve already looked at the pattern pieces and they all look fairly basic; interfacing, skirt facings, etc. I’m praying that it doesn’t take me too long to complete but I’ll be documenting all of my journey along the way.

Logging off, Millie xxx
