Option #2:

Two Way Wear Skirt
June 2022, Banners
Emmaleigh Ho

The Two Way Wear Skirt is a skirt made from the banners 
collected. I pinned and cut them to the pattern and sewed it 
all together using the serger and sewing machine. The skirt 
has both a drawstring that can be either used to gather the 
bottom to make it tighter or as an adjustable waistband.  
The zipper is used to close the skirt for the first option; 
however, it can be a slit in the second.

Comfort Of One's Inner Child
11/04/2022, Bags (from the Thrift Pop-up)
Emmaleigh Ho

Comfort Of One's Inner Child is a beanie made from
the bags given through the Thrift Pop-up shop.
I cut the (four) bags, lined them up, pinned them 
together and sewed them together. Then, once they
were a rectangle of fabric I was able to trace it 
out to the pattern. Next, I pinned and cut up the
fabric and sewed it all up together.

The name, Comfort Of One's Inner Child, is a 
representation of how even though you will get older 
your inner child will always exist inside of oneself.
Finding ways to relight and making it content is 
important. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show was one 
of the highlights of my childhood, so bringing it 
into an article of clothing is very special to me.
