A Line Skirts - New Addiction

 

Remember this fabric?

I needed to do something with this fabric because we had bought it with the intention of using it for the lining of Jennines book bag.  When that did not work out what was a sewing addict friend to do?

We surfed blog land until I found these wicked cool skirts.  I could see Jennine in it instantly.

While we did not follow the blog examples exactly, I created a lovely little A line skirt for her for summer days.  There were some problems with the waist band.  Some one may or may not have sewn it up side down.  (DUH) but after at least one sleepless night, the skirt was completed and looks good as long as you do not stare too long at the waist band.

I did save some of the print to be used at a later date as an accent bit for a brown linen A line skirt. 

What do you think of this fabric?

There was a mere metre left of this and I had to have it.

In the mean time I discovered this fabric and it turned into a rather nice little skirt.  See the waistband?  Sewed it correctly. 

I know right?!!  Jennine HATES it when I make her pose.

I found this other skirt that I am pretty sure is up soon for Jennine.  Yeah I got issues....
