#I might be being a little optimistic because one row of single crochet on a 6in size 10 crochet cotton still took me like 10min

*sighs* can’t make anything easy for myself can I?

I was sliding around the internet and saw this skirt from SHEIN.

And immediately thought I can make that better! In beautiful linen! With massive pockets! So I got to work. Step one. I’ve been wanting a wrap circle skirt for a while so cool let’s do that. So I cut out the half circle, easy peaky. Well. I did not have enough fabric for the flounce after that. (Literally the time between seeing this pic and measuring fabrics was like. 15min lol) so I went on the website I got the linen from and they no longer offered it in the weight I needed!! Ok well. I do have a heavier linen in my stash already and I didn’t really want to pay more for shipping then for the fabric anyways. So I will use that. A waistband with the thicker fabric would be better anyways and the ruffle would have some nice heft plus I was gonna leave the edge raw and the thicker fabric would ravel just a little nicer imo.

But then.

I saw some cotton lace at the back of my stash. That would be hella cute!!! Only it was only 2 in wide. But that got me thinking about lace and um. Crocheted lace. That’s insane tho right? I already have a perfectly good solution and I haven’t crocheted a full piece in like 6 years….

Anyways I spent the morning before work sampling/relearning lol. I’m gonna have to make like 3 yards since I want a 2x times gathered ruffle.

#me: I can’t start anymore yarn projects until I finish at least 2 current wips #also me: this is a sewing project I can do what I want #anyways I’ve barely started the sample but shout out to crochet it’s fast even when ur slow at it #I almost can’t believe myself I ignoring a perfectly good solution that is in line with The Vision but I turn my back on it #I say almost because I’ve lived with me for 30 years I do kno what I’m like at this point lol #but yeah it might actually be doable??? #I might be being a little optimistic because one row of single crochet on a 6in size 10 crochet cotton still took me like 10min #but I’m fast at chaining and I wanna do a net design for the bulk of it #might go down a yarn size tho so it gathers nicely #also have had NiN closer on loop this whole time so it’s like #me whispering to my sewing projects ‘u let me complicate u’ #crochet #yarn #sewing #hand sewing
