another one
The third new skirt. Not that I'm keeping track. The pattern is one I recently adjusted; a simple hip yoke and circular skirt. I'm pleased to find that it fits! Even without having made a muslin. Phew. Another basic pattern for the files. I love coordinating prints and couldn't resist these when I found them on sale. The ruffle fabric is vertically striped, though it is somewhat hidden by the fullness of the ruffle.
The striped cloth was also used for the piping around the yoke
I think this gives a nice touch and ties the whole thing together better than simply having the skirt in one fabric and the ruffle in another. There is more of the stripey cloth leftover, so I'm thinking a top might be in order... a quick review of existing blouses and sweaters hasn't turned up a great match for this. Never fear, I'll find a way to wear it--the colors make me happy!
p.s. in the top photo, it appears that the back hem is longer than the front hem. It is. It looks sloppy on a hanger, but perfect on my body. Just in case you thought it was a mistake :)
Great things, I love it, people around the world doing this.
I am thrifting and crafting in norway.
