Week 11: New Ideas That Must Wait

Dun-dun-dun. AP Exam Week has officially begun. Because Mimi and I have our fair share of AP Exams that each of us have to take, we're going to have to temporarily put a hold on producing any new items for our store. However, I have been browsing around and I have a few ideas for things we could make after exams are over.

This cute black u-neckline tank top looks simple enough to make, which is why I definitely want to try and attempt to sew it myself. Because it is spring, I'd probably avoid black and opt for a brighter color or some floral print. I feel like this top is something a lot of our age-group would wear because it meets the one-inch requirement that our school enforces in the dress code while still being airy and cool enough to wear on those hot-spring-entering-summer days. I would try and make this out of a lighter fabric, perhaps chiffon, to play on with the light and airy vibe of the tank top.

My next attempted piece would be a circle skirt, which is shown to the right. A circle skirt is really just a fuller skirt that sways and blows and flows when you walk. I've always kind of had an obsession with them because I just think they look so feminine and beautiful. Making them seems easy enough, and I think the hardest part would be making the waistband to fit various sizes. For the fabric, I would probably use either a light jersey material or something really soft and flowy, maybe chiffon as an overlay and something else as a base. 

Though these ideas can't be attempted until after AP Testing is over, I'm definitely excited to try them. (:
