This is one of the first garments that I ever made. The other stuff I made was not even worth showing or even mentioning. When starting my fashion studies, in October 2010, I really did not know too much about how to put garments together, but I feel I’m learning fast, thus took the initiative to make a garment all on my own.
I drew up a very simple skirt block, at home, and added the random pleats, for some individual flair. I found some brown fabric at a charity shop. I had a good idea to dye the horrid brown fabric.

The picture above shows the fabric after I bleached it, using your average domestic toilet bleach in my bath. Some of the weave lighten and others didn’t. I wasn’t sure about that look at first but I definitely think it worked when I added the orange. Below, is the picture of the fabric after I had dyed it orange. Sorry I don’t have any pictures of the fabric before bleaching and dying, but trust me, it was pretty ugly.

Here’s a picture I took and posted back on 25th January of the toile I made of the skirt. I made it the night before.
Pictures of the making of the skirt…
THE FINISHED PRODUCT!! I love it!! So proud of myself. Half the time, when making the skirt, I did not know what I was doing, but it came out great.
