First piece of clothing ever!

Last February I bought a second-hand sewing machine and played around with some minor alterations and repairs. Then I found some old fabric I used to play with as a child, 100% white cotton with these pretty little lilac flowers, and decided to make a half-circle skirt out of it!

No pattern was followed, I just took my measurements and drew (you can still see the blue water-erasable marker lol). It has these weird open sides (down to the hips) because I was trying to accommodate some weight fluctuations. The belt holds the whole thing up and the hooks and eyes hold the sides together.

I'll probably make a top out of the scraps.

Grandma (who never believed in my ability to make garments lol) says it's very pretty. What do you all think? Suggestions welcome ☺️
