I'm in love with a skirt.

First, let me say, I have just done 7 posts in a row over the stuff I've done the past 4 months. I don't want to do that ever again. New Year's resolution, update this thing when I make something! Okay, now that THAT'S out of the way, let's start 2012 with the stuff I've made in 2012 (or on the eve of 2012..)!

I bought this pattern awhile back on possibly the same $1 pattern day as I bought the last post's pattern. (I know I went nuts that day and bought 20+ patterns.) I came across it again and decided now was the time to make it. I chose a really pretty red fabric and decided that would be my New Year's Eve getup. I whipped it up New Year's Eve and wore it that night and promptly decided I would make more of them.

Only bummer about this skirt, is the fabric is a lint magnet!

So, this skirt is simple to make, no crazy techniques or anything. It took me about.. 4 or 5 hours I'd say, including cutting time. I left out the ties that are supposed to be on the top that knot in the front, I just liked the way it looked without them. I made a size 6 which I was a little nervous about, but it fit perfectly. Reviews I had read online mentioned that it was very short, but I found the length perfect.

I made another one, that I put the zipper in today, and I've been sitting here at my kitchen table wearing it while I'm marathon posting. It's cute and comfy and I can't wait to make more!

That teal fabric has been kicking around for awhile, and I haven't had any idea what to do with it until now! It has the same future as that goreous mustard yellow with white flowers fabric. I think 4 of one kind of skirt should be enough...
