This might be the first piece of clothing that I’ve made for myself. I’ve had somewhat of a mental block about making my own things, but thought I’d give it a go. I used the New Look 6433 pattern (view E), but veered a bit from the pattern by taking lots of inches off the length. I think it turned out pretty well, but there is definitely a lot of fabric here.
The fabric is Del Hi by Valori Wells for Free Spirit. I’ve seen lots of patterns for circle skirts out there. Maybe you could try this one?
Luh-huvv the fabirc!
Perfect fabric for a skirt! I love it! 🙂
Love the fabric! Love the skirt! :-)))
I think that skirt is classic. And its nice to see that fabric as a skirt. I liked it when I saw it on the manufacture website.
Well done! Fabric is perfect. Skirt is perfect. xox
Oh, it’s so very pretty!
But yes, circle skirts are very full, aren’t they…
PS I made the burda one with a vintage round tablecloth, it worked really well. But I think I prefer a-line in general…
Nice job! I love this fabric. Beautiful.
That skirt, in that fabric, is lovely indeed! Did this succes inspire you to make more clothing for yourself from now one? You should!
It’s really pretty! I always find it hardest to sew for myself… especially clothes!
Very nice…still trying to find the time to make something for myself Glad you have gotten over the mental block.
Oh wow! I love the fabric, and the circle skirt! It’d be fun to embroidery little parts of that!
This skirt looks fabulous!!! You found THE perfect fabric for it. I love it!
Ellen, thank you for linking to my Ed Young “Wabi Sabi” interview on your lovely blog. I love how you turned “Wabi Sabi” into a gorgeous craft project for kids! Your sewing blog is as much a treat for those (like me) who don’t sew, as it is for those who do.
