The middle two weeks of the month are always pretty hectic for me. Most of my deadlines as a freelance writer are either mid-month or end of the month, so I've been chipping away at my projects a little at a time. Thankfully last week Brittani came over and we were able to get some work done on the circle skirt. I didn't bother to draft a pattern piece for it, simply using a bit of math and a tape measure to mark the curve. That's a picture of the main fabric- inside out, though, so you can't see the pretty floral pattern!
The lining and waistband are also cut out at this point, but I still need to pick up a zipper for this an then actually put it together. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of next week!
For the sake of complete honesty, I can't say that I've worked on this skirt in all my spare time. The truth is, I've been way too busy gaming and painting models. Upon arriving back from Spain I was itching to get back into tabletop roleplaying. What I didn't anticipate was my partner having a Battletech starter box. Turns out, Battletech is pretty awesome.
That is a Bombardier and a Sagittaire, two Battletech miniatures. I painted them myself, and have a bunch more to be painting. There's a convention here in October that I may be running some tabletop games at including a demo of Battletech we're providing the miniatures for so between my partner and I, we have a lot of painting to do!
