Another patchwork skirt done!
Our niece Allie went thru my fabric drawers last month
and after "ohhhhing and ahhhhing" on several fabrics,
she informed me that she wanted a "twirlly one with owls...
and birds...and girls...and...and...and...and".
I think that I covered all the "ands" and then some!
These are so much fun to make and a great way to use up the
bits & pieces held onto for something special!
I love adding all the little trinkets that I've held on to also...
the special buttons, the hooked flowers & trims that I have made,
and the patches that I made out of favorite fabrics.
Super easy to do. Measure the waist and cut your fabric like you would for any draw-string waist band skirt. There are SO many youtube videos to help you thru this if you haven't made them before and need some help to follow along. I just make 2 buttonholes on my machine for the drawstring waistband (cutting a piece of elastic 1/3 the dimension of the waist measurement and sewing on two ties to the ends, weaving out the buttonholes).
Each row after the 'base waistband row' I add a bit more material and gather...before you know it, you are done!
