And when I was about to choose, I noticed their colors. And I love those autumn-inspired colors that was rich, warm, and earthy.

So I took the unfinished skirt and grab my wand, I mean my 2.5mm crochet hook to continue some magic.
But before I could continue with the skirt, I noticed that it was not as wide as I dreamed of or imagined. So I'm thinking of undoing it and starting all over again. But when I'm done pulling the rust-colored yarn, leaving the brown-colored stitches still intact, I realized that I could expand its wideness by increasing the number of stitches on the 2nd color, which is rust.
By the way, this project is meant for me. Funny how I create beautiful stuff to be worn by others but for me? Nah, I can't remember I made something for myself except the small sling bag I'm using every time I went to the market.😅 What I mean is that I always make a crocheted top, crop top, short, skirt, or any kind of outfit for others but never tried creating for myself.

So this was how it looked after redoing and increasing the number of stitches on the rust color. And I'm glad about the result so I continued with the next color, orange, and do the same approach.

And while I'm doing this skirt, I was thinking and a little bit worried about still not having an order from customers. I think 2 weeks already that I received none. But then, I considered this time to improve my skills and do what I wanted to create. So I continued.


As you have noticed on the left picture, after doing the 3rd color which is orange, I choose another shade of orange as the 4th color. But I didn't like it since it was still an orange shade closer to the 3rd color. Undoing it was easy, as you have to pull the string as fast as you can. Just don't mind the effort and time you exerted on that mistake but the idea to improve your project is your main goal here. So I choose another color that looks like mustard or golden yellow, still increasing the number of stitches to make it wider.
And the longer the skirt becomes, the more yarns I used as I keep on increasing every color.
Then lastly I chose light brown-colored yarn to finish my skirt. All in all, it measures 28-29 inches long.

Finally, I have made my own crocheted skirt now and I feel great looking at it. I'm loving it. 🥰 And was thinking of making another one, but I'm considering choosing only one color next time.
But wait, there's still more. While I was taking some decent pictures with my long crocheted skirt, an idea popped into my mind. 😅 It looks like this long skirt can also be made into a sexy dress, isn't it?

So I quickly made a long string compost of chains and single crochet and inserted it on the waist section of the dress. And voila! 😍

A sexy haltered dress was formed! Wow, I never imagined it from the start but I'm glad it came out unexpectedly. So whenever I wanted to wear it as a long skirt, I will just pull that string off the waist area and put it back when I wanted to wear it on a beach as a dress.

Conclusion: Always strive for the best. Don't settle on things that you thought you're just wasting your time and effort undoing things. Consider those mistakes as the best experience to improve more. Crafters, our goal here is to create beautiful projects despite the mistakes that we had encountered. Those mistakes aren't useless but a stepping stone to greatness.
One down, more wips to go. Good luck to all the crafters out there who participate in the WIP challenge.
Hope to inspire even one soul with today's post. God bless everyone. And stay safe.
Love lots,
@jonalyn2020

I could have never thought of anything this creative.
At first your challenges with the wudness was overcome and then you picked nice blend of colors along side.
The most beautiful part was transforming this into a dress its really lovely.
This could go for some worthy price or as a precious gift for someone at the hivefest.

Thank you @chacald.dcymt 🥰 what makes me more happy is reading your comments with appreciation. God bless. 😊
waoo, what can I say?
Your skirt is beautiful, although I must say that as a dress I liked it better.
The color combination is great, all the shades look great together. I really admire your work and you certainly inspire me.
Blessings!
Thank you @kattycrochet. 🥰 I never thought I can make a dress like that since I intend to make a skirt. And I'm glad to know that I inspire someone who is already good in crochet. I thought to inspire beginners only. 😅 But anyways, thank you for dropping by and God bless 🥰
This is really beautiful @jonalyn2020 wow, cute WIP thank for sharing 😊
"Salamat sayu" @smilestitches. (Tagalog word for "thank you"). 🥰

Thank you @lrscarmen.. 🥰 yes, and I'm hoping to inspire other crafters with this kind of enthusiasm. God bless you. 😊
Wow, this is very very beautiful! I would be happy to wear this!🤣☺️🤗
Oh thank you @photohaus.🥰 If only you're near.
I love the end result. I haven't owned a crocheted dress before but I do see it a lot now on Hive and the beginnings always does something to my insides. Before you transformed it to a skirt, I saw a beautiful mini that'll go really well with a halter top I have. Then you turned things around and gave me both! How cool is that?! You're awesome!
I have to say that you give great content btw! I would also like to tell you about Dreemport. A place to get more eyes on your content and meet great people. It's always fun. You can check out How do I use Dreemport post by @dreemsteem. It is easy. Look forward to seeing more of your works! 😁

Is it a dress? Is it a skirt? Nooooo its an artwork. So amazing. I love everything: the color sequence, the lace pattern, the flare, the possibility to transform the garment from dress to skirt and back. Wow. And I have no clue how you could have made it so fast. Do you sleep sometimes???? 😂
