I have a quite a few skirts that I've made and never posted about. I wear them pretty frequently but never seem to get a picture when I am. Here's one I made ages ago.
It's just a simple pleated skirt on a waistband. I didn't use a pattern. I just did one inch pleats until I got the right width to fit around my waist.
The fabric is a quilting cotton. It was printed off-grain which always infuriates me. What is the point of printing fabric that isn't on grain? Because of this I cut it so the vegetables were lined up. If I'd cut it on the grain all the rows of vegetables would have been wonky. I didn't know if this would have an effect on the way the skirt sat, but it seems fine.

That print is so good. I'd like some fabric printed with just cauliflower. Also I love your stack of bangles and how nicely they go with the colours of the skirt!

ReplyDeleteLove the print! You look totally cute. I hate it when things don't like up. It's a waste of time and money.
ReplyDeleteThat print is adorable! I love how you can't tell it's veggies until you see it up close.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I really like prints that aren't obvious what they are from far away, then as you get closer you can see it's amazing! xx

How lovely! I love quilting fabric but I think I said to you before, it's so expensive over here.
