To Do: Flirty Skirt
LOVE! This is a variation on the 20-minute skirt that I want to try - the triple elastic looks neat!
To Do: Vintage Inspired Skirt with Pockets
I totally want to make this skirt! Pockets!
To Make: Bias Skirt
I want to make this bias skirt!
For Me: Jean Upcycling
Upcycling is all the rage, and I had a couple pairs of jeans in my closet that I don't wear any more. This particular pair had a giant hole in the butt.
Skirt it!
I could be happier with this one... I worry that, in the words of Heidi Klum, it looks like I'm pooping fabric.. and the front is a bit weird also. But, it was fun to make and it's comfortable. I will try again with some jeans that have a little less stretch in them. It would be nice to have some more structure in the waist.
But overall? Pretty happy for a first try!

For Me: Another "20-Minute Skirt"/variation
I used this beautiful fabric to make another "20 minute skirt" in the same was that I made the gathered skirts for The Girl.
I put a little patch pocket on (for the cell phone) and it worked great!
I used one long piece of fabric, but I think the shape would be better if I had cut in in half and made two side-seams. But overall? Really pleased.

For Me: Another Breezy Wrap Skirt
I made another "Breezy wrap skirt" - this one with a larger overlap than the other one, because it was so ... risky before. This one is much better.
This one, I might even put the wrap in back, and then have a back pocket...
I love this fabric. |
