the skirts so far!





i've been busy making these skirts {i really should have ironed the bottom one!}. the top two are from a wrap around a-line pattern. i also made a dark denim one. i got tired of the tie after making 2 and decided to use a band and some adjustable closure 'things' instead.

as with almost all patterns and shoes, i'm not one of the specified sizes, so i had to play with the measurements a bit ~ even though its a wrap around! i also had to trim the 'corners' of the a-line at the bottom as they ended up pointy ~ not sure if it's worth fixing this issue on the blue one, as i have a thing for raw edges and don't want to cut it.

the bottom one is a shortened version of a favourite wrap skirt i bought years ago from monkhouse. i hope they don't mind me copying the design {of course for personal use only!}.

i was really happy with the fabric i bought from duckcloth {the top one}.

happy monday :)
