Unfortunately the side button closure wasn't a long enough opening for me to get into the skirt comfortably so it's also got a centre back invisible zipper......and I thought I had no butt!
One of my most favourite things in life is taking delayed timer selfies. Truly.
To get the camera to focus, I have to first set up my dressmaker's mannequin 'Florence' into position, then during the ten second delay before the camera takes a shot, I have to fling her on the bed out of sight and jump into the frame.....all while looking as though I'm having the time of my life.
Oh I just love it.
Woops, bit too slow.
Back up a bit Nellie.
Ok, now smile.
That's it....almost.
Next time breathe in.
(There has to be an easier way).

Ha ha Fran, that made my day :-) Love the skirt and am glad you can get into it comfortably. Good job.
You pose like a model!
The skirt is beautiful. I love skirts that are not too long or too short.
Thanks Nil and Nanna Chel. I'm learning lots about pattern drafting.....but not too much about modelling or photo shoots! Haha.
I don't like taking photos of myself at all, I post clothes I sew without me in them if I can. Shy, I know! Your skirts all look good. I have pieces cut out to make a skirt with pockets in a light denim fabric. It will be my first go with pockets and with a back piece of elastic. Meg:)
You did such a great job with your skirt Meg. Go you! (And you look great wearing it too). :)
Hahaha..you brought a smile to my face as I dislike "selfies"!
It's totally painful isn't it RobynLouise? I do love to see other people wearing their makes though so I'm determined to persevere!
Hi Fran, i followed the link from Down to Earth after reading Rhonda's blog this morning. I giggled so much at your description of taking the timed selfies... just how i would do it. Love the skirt!!
Tanya Thankyou. Yes the self timer antics don't get any easier I'm afraid! I think I'll have to learn to use the manual settings on my camera if I keep sewing. Thanks for popping by and taking the time to comment!
