Rayon Floral Dirndl=Happiness

I’ve FINALLY made a skirt that isn’t cotton! Quilting cotton is so easy to sew but i just LOVE the lightness and feel of this rayon fabric. SUCH SOFTNESS.

Hello! So forever ago I bought this dress that was 2 sizes too big for me, but I LOVED the space print and bought it anyway. I had to have it.

Can’t Get Enough of this Skirt

Circle Skirt Tutorial The Second

Hey everyone! Hope this last Tuesday of March has treated you well. Let’s get this finished!

Circle Skirt Tutorial The First

The circle skirt. Other than some basic math, (For help use this calculator: http://circleskirtpattern.com/ ) you can easily draft a pattern and make a few skirts on a weekend afternoon. Not only are they super simple to make, there are several different types of feminine and sometimes silly prints to give you that extra touch of individuality. I drafted a pattern a while back and it held up well until today. I used butcher paper but poster board would definitely be more durable in the long run. Depending on your measurements, you can use as little as a yard of fabric for a skirt. Since I used about 2 1/2 yards, my skirt will consist of four panels sewing together to ultimately complete a perfect circle.
