Skirt talking

     I haven't had a good chance to do much creative stuff in any way to show people. I've been drawing, poorly, and I've been playing around with making magazine covers for a magazine I want to make. A much harder process than I thought, don't tell my mom. I think I need to make something physically. 

    My idea is to customize a denim skirt that I never wear. It's cute, but a bit too long to not feel a little Baptist. The first thing I would do is figure out how long I want it to be if I want to change the length at all. If I remember correctly, it goes a bit above the knees. Not a common length for me, I love the extremes. 

    The second step will be to decide what I will add. perhaps, I will create an applique or steal a patch from a pair of jeans I don't wear (big hole in the thigh inseam.... so sad a pair will never fit me like that again). 

The skirt in question

    Hopefully, this skilled drawing I labored over for a full three minutes gives you some sort of idea of what I'm working with. I already think that it should be shorter, but the hell on earth that would be hemming with no sewing machine (The Roommate traded his for some balloons) doesn't interest me much. 

I don't think the actual applique has a leaf but otherwise, this drawing just looks like I sat in something

    My first idea is to add this flower that I currently have on another pair of jeans, I like it a lot and I don't wear the jeans anymore. Adding it would be cute, probably the only thing I am sure to do to these shorts. 

    

These were just two ideas that immediately came to mind

    I could also embroider some things, but I'd have to find some good inspo first. There were just off the dome, cats on butt pockets actually are kinda a classic for me. I'd love to actually fill in shapes this time, as normally I only have the energy to make simple outlines and move on to other projects. I think I've matured enough.

    Drawing on my trackpad actually sucks major ass so I'm sticking to just these ideas for now. Maybe I'll create more ideas tonight when I can actually try on and play with the skirt. 

Bye bye!!!!!
