I love the two tone fabric look that is so popular right now. I found these cotton prints at Hancock Fabrics. There's not much to write about this skirt. It was super easy. I originally made the tie belt with rather large belt loop in the back, but didn't like the look of it so I took it out. And as I've previously stated, I'm really not that fond of tie belts. They never look great on me. I think it's because my body is basically a square and I don't have much of a defined waist to begin with. Tie belts just add bulk to an area where I don't need it.
Now that I have
three pleated skirts in my closet, I think I can move on to another style. But I sure love the look of a crisp pleat. This turned out looking very vintage to me.
I made view B and only had to shorted it a few inches. Very fast & easy. Whatcha think?

ReplyDeleteAdorable skirt. This looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is fabulous! I'm inspired to make one for one of my best friends who always wear this style of skirt
ReplyDeleteI agree on the vintage vibe, and I love the mix of prints! Job well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the storyboard comments Amanda! You really HAVE to enter a contest, you make the cutest stuff! The storyboard is easy once you get the hang of it. AND you don't have to do a digital version...you can do an old fashioned swatch & pattern version then snap a digital pic of it! There's a tute on my blog for the digital version in the upper right hand corner (using a free photo editing program.) You can do it, I have no doubt!
ReplyDeleteOh, and you're almost right...I teach Desktop Publishing & Photoshop at a HS :D That's my "Day Job"!
You've been sewing up a storm and your designs are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I have a dress in the same fabric! I love the quality of it.
