The problem with working on multiple projects at once like I do is that sometimes you can get overwhelmed by all the WIP's and no FO's. Last week I was getting a bit annoyed with all the WIP's so I decided to make a quick skirt to satisfy my FO urge.
Gathered skirts are the quickest easiest thing to make and they are so easy to wear as well. I could never have too many gathered skirts in my wardrobe I don't think. There are a million tutorials on the internet if you want to make your own. They are basically one rectangle for the waistband and one rectangle for the skirt. The large rectangle I made 2 times my waist measurement because I wanted lots of gathering. You could easily make this fuller or smaller just by altering this measurement.
As you can tell these photos were taken on a rare sunny day on the GC. I am hoping for another sunny afternoon this week as I have since finished some other projects and I am hoping to get Corey to take pics for me when he gets home from work. Fingers crossed it can happen soon.
i plan to learn to sew when i'm off with the baby!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric! I'm also in the process of making a gathered skirt using Gertie's tutorial and am thinking I may need one in every colour..
ReplyDeleteThat looks great and I love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! You live on the GC too??? Hi!

ReplyDeleteI make skirts when I'm feeling overwhelmed with sewing as well. They are so quick and easy. Your skirt looks great. Funny, I just bought that exact same fabric at Spotlight the other day.
ReplyDeleteHang ten, are you blonde now? YOU LOOK AWESOME! Yay for FO (which might mean Finished Object?!)

I love this skirt Kat, you look adorable in it. The fabric print is so fresh and lovely. Making an easy little skirt is so satisfying isn't it?!
