More mixed-fabric, drawstring waist, A-line skirts, made from a set of Amy Butler FQs that I originally thought would be used for a different project, but which ended up in the stash. The one above is currently the most-loved, most-worn garment in my closet.
Here's the back view:
It's a good thing these are so quick and easy to make from fabric-on-hand, 'cuase at the rate I'm wearing and washing these they will be worn out in a year. Which is cool, because by then I'll have a whole new set of groovy FQs and large scraps in the stash (most likely) and will be ready to make more.
Same self-drafted pattern based on Sew What! Skirts instructions as the pink ones. As before, I seamed two or three fabric pieces together before cutting the skirt front and back.
Here's another one from the same set of dark blue Amy B. FQs, front (a bit fuzzy, sorry):
and back:
And I almost forgot about this one! Used up my last scraps of super-groovy aqua "daisy chain" -- love the big mod print. The little circle print I'm not so in love with, but this skirt used up a bunch of the big piece I had, so I'm happy about that. Front and back of this one are close to identical, so I'm only displaying one side:
This is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula! I have plans to write up a tutorial on these -- they're so quick and easy to sew, fun to make and comfy to wear. Don't know when I'll get to it, though... lots of other projects are higher on the to-do list.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, (i said that on flicker and it needs saying again!) I really like the way you have used the variety of fabrics, it is simply scrummy!
