Intergalactic Apparel
I had so much fun making this skirt!!  I
started out with a very different idea of
what to make, but this is how it turned out
instead.  I used dark blue corduroy for the
top part of the skirt. Then I put patchwork
panels down each side and across the
bottom.  I added a large ruffle of clear
water blue material along the very bottom.  
For the artwork I appliqued a mermaid ( I
call her Jill ) jumping out of the water
offering up a crystal to the moon from
deep below the waters surface.  There is a
rock that she is able to moon bathe on
after her offering.   I used a stretchy aqua
colored velvet for the thin line of water she
is jumping out of as well as the drawstring
waistband. Its super soft!  The mermaid
herself has a bikini top sewn on with a tight
satin stitch. Strands of hair are sewn
around her with a thin satin stitch in two
shade of blue.  There is decorative
stitching that resembles mermaid scales for
the lower half of her body.  
She is so beautiful!
