Hand Sewn Three- Tiered Maxi Skirt- Part 3

Part 1 | Part 2 | Here | Part 4

Update on the skirt!

In part 2, I cut the seam allowance that connects the waistband and the first tier too short, so I decided to cut a strip of fabric to sandwich them between to make it look nice and prevent fraying.

I cut it about an inch and a half in width and ironed down the folds that I wanted.

I MADE SURE the iron was on the synthetic setting! No more melted fabrics here!

I first folded it in half, ironed that down and then folded the ends to meet in the middle on that fold.

Then I ironed that middle fold once more so it stayed. I ended up with a significantly thinner strip like this.

Here I'm just showing the length comparison. I cut it a bit longer than the waistband so I had extra to work with.

I cut the seams down again so they looked less jacked and would fit between the strip.

Then I pinned it down. This part was surprisingly easy!

I sewed it down using a running stitch and now I have a nice, clean if a little bulky seam!

Next update is the sewing of the second tier of the skirt!

I really like drawing these victorian emo type girls with the cool hair and fringe. This is my third girl in this challenge so far! 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Here's the final line art! I may adjust some things before I start colouring (like that hairline) This is the first successful digital piece that I've made using a screenless tablet and I'm really excited to complete it!

If this goes well, I can start illustrating my other characters!

FINALLY! A POSE GONE RIGHT!

I've been working on relearning all the drawing skills I lost and one of the most difficult things for me has been dynamic poses.

This is my OC Ciera and I thought I would try out this pose with her as she's the easiest to draw.

It's not perfect, but it's loads better than my other attempts! I'm going to ink and color her in!

He's trying to hold back his tears! 🥲😂

I actually drew this face as a sketch for something else and I thought it was a funny face.

I was in a sort of drawing funk for a while despite my daily doodles saying otherwise. This funny face helped get me out of it.

An excerpt from the current story I've been writing.

She had noticed them immediately as she raised her head to breathe in the unusually cool air. They stopped her in her tracks and she nearly fell over as she missed the steep step-down on the broken sidewalk.  There were many of them and they hovered still in the sky as far as her eye could see. They were smooth, ice-grey disks with no other defining features. They almost blended in with the grey of the sky, but they were so big that they could not be missed. Carissa stared up at them, open-mouthed, hardly believing what she was seeing and hardly believing that no one else was seeing this as she wildly whipped her head around to see if anyone else was gaping up at the sky. The old lady in her yard across the street was watering her plants. The school girl in her blue uniform further up the street was giggling at her phone. The lanky man wearing a graphic t-shirt and ridiculously sagged jeans swerved around her on the sidewalk, shooting her an annoyed glance as he passed. Trinidadians were known for making a scene when they saw something out of the ordinary.  Maybe she was just seeing things.

This is still unedited, but I know I'll be keeping this section in.

A blob girl! I was inspired by my recent red blood cell design. This one's not a cell, just a blob. I need to do research into the other blood cells before I start drawing them.

For those who have been looking, I hope you find this.

For everyone else, I don't argue on the internet. Talk to the wall 🧱

I've been wanting to share this channel for a long while and I've finally gotten the courage to 😮‍💨🙏

The Master's Voice Prophecy Blog

I was watching one of her videos and what she said inspired this doodle. Prophets are alive and (sort of) well in the 21st century.

A reminder of this ends up on the wrong side of Tumblr: I don't 'debate' or argue on the internet! If you try me, you will be arguing with the wall, because I won't be here for you to 'debate' with.

God bless you, because we all really need some blessings in these times.
