DIY: gathered skirt (intermediate-difficult sewing)

This DIY is perfect for the summer! It's a little bit more difficult but manageable! I used a little under 2 yards of fabric that I got from a friend. The fabric I'm using is called "lavalava" which is traditional Samoan cloth. It's a cotton material that has a little bit more structure to it.



Materials

  • 2 yards of fabric 
  • sewing machine 
  • pins
  • zipper (mine was 6 inches) 
  • matching thread 
  • measuring tape 
  • rotary cutter or scissors 
The tutorial I followed was by CheapbutChic1 on YouTube. Here's the link!

Hooray for more styles!




Cara 

When picking an outfit Cara's main go to is comfort. Something with a neat print, loose fit and on trend. Her choice of clothing is usually based on instinct, and mostly comfort. She's pretty funny the first thing she tells me is that her go to is "$10 and under! That's what I look for. :D" My response "...that's helpful..." Cara is my thrift store buddy that along with Carissa! Since its winter sweaters are the most exciting to hunt for. But there are some exceptions that catch our attention like this top for Cara. (This top is not thrifted. Its actually bought) 







Victoria 

I usually gravitate to clothing that have bright colours but not all the time lately its been colours like mustard yellow, or give off a warm effect. But this orange scarf is a fun pop of colour. Mixing patterns is fun too. I guess I like to play with shapes and colours when it comes to dressing myself. I'd say a my outfits are a good mix of thrifted, vintage, and bought stuff. 





Nancy

How can I say this, when it comes to Nancy you can trust that her style is whats current. A little preppy but always on point. I'm pretty sure her new favourite clothing store is J. Crew so you kind of get the idea where her style influences are. Its all works well for her cause she's lean and tall (like a super model! ) Clothes always looks good on her. I guess this Sunday she's more dressed down than usual. Exam time I tell ya no time to dress intensely.

Just a glimpse


Cara will be the first of the style section of our blog. 

Cara's style is pretty cool. She make such old school knits her own. Her sense of style is inspired by shows like Fresh prince of bel air. But then again she integrates a lot of nice international fabrics. Her look is very relaxed and casual wear. 


We recently celebrated birthdays so its nice to show case some of Cara's quirky style. Some nepal crafted house slippers and Carissa's comical frog slippers gives you a slight taste of our families varied range in style.
