I loved this fabric when I saw it a year or two ago (purchased somewhere online; don't remember where). It reminded me of Lily Pulitzer fabric and I thought it would make a cute dress or skirt for one of my teenage daughters. Oh silly me... How could I forget my girls don't have much use for my "creations".
So, in an attempt to get my sewing mojo back, I decided to whip up something quick and thought this fabric would make a nice springy skirt to wear to the office (we're very casual) or for one of the many graduation related events that are coming up. I used an McCalls 7904 (out of print) and in approximately two hours, had the skirt finished.
SO cute!
ReplyDeleteHow did you finish the front slit? Did you turn back the edges, and then just turn up the hem? It looks so neatly done from the outside, curious minds want to know your secret ;-)
Super cute skirt, and very flattering! I love how the simplest things can be the prettiest.
ReplyDeleteIt's Lilly lovely!
ReplyDeleteI found some real Lilly Pulitzer fabric in the garment district two weeks ago and my daughter talked me out of buying it. Said it was too juvenile. (I think it was for the little girls line) Boo hoo.
I love your skirt. I have similar fabric that I've been cranking out summer skirts with. My bid debate is whether or not to line them. Do you line your cotton skirts? If, so with what?
ReplyDeleteVery cute skirt and the fabric is darling.
