Favorite Spring Skirt
This was a “love at first sight” project - you know, the kind where you out-of-the-blue see a fabric and just know it’s exactly what you want? This was just a remnant I spotted and thought would make a perfect skirt (confession time: I actually bought the fabric and made this skirt last fall. Remember this headband ? Made from a leftover scrap when the skirt was done. But it wasn’t the right time of year to wear it, so I’ve been waiting to show it off!). I love how swishy and light it feels - very feminine and pretty! It goes beautifully with a pink shirt I already owned, but it looks good with black and white too, and I ran across a tan cardigan that works as well. I didn’t use a pattern for this; I simply measured out my pieces (top piece was 8” bigger than my hips by 6” wide, and the bottom 3.5 time longer than the top piece by 14” wide. I used 1" elastic for the waistband, and simply made a casing from the fabric. But if you did want a pattern, Burda 59...
