I have been having a play with a couple of skirt patterns lately....very simple ones I have found on the internet.
The first I made the weekend before last. Because the skirt is designed for a child I used slightly more fabric. Actually, if I was to make it again I would use less - perhaps the amount for the largest child size. The end result is a very bunchy around the waist - an awful lot of excess material. But it is as twirly as it supposed to be and I love the colours. Perfect for Spring.
Then this weekend I made a cherry skirt, following this pattern. On this occasion I had the opposite problem, too little fabric. I was walking like I had my two legs tied together; perhaps because, again, the pattern is for a child. So I adapted it a little and added a split at the back. I wore it to church last night and am quite happy with it.
These are darling, I love the styles of both!
ReplyDeleteCute skirts! Thanks for sharing your pictures. I don't share ones of my family, either, so I understand completely.
