My older daughter is now only wearing skirts that I have made, so she needs more of them for spring. I had this lovely Nani Iro fabric and decided to add some running stitches around the flowers for more color, then I made the lining poke out the bottom with more stitching.
As you can see, we’re having another gray day here in Atlanta, so not the best for photographs. Oh, and if you want to buy some Japanese fabric and help support Japan, you can check here and here.
Beautiful skirt! The stitching makes it so cute and fun.
The skirt brings back memories of my mom sewing for me. Sweet, kind acts of love.
The skirt is really beautiful, the stitching adds so much. How great that your daughter loves wearing what you make!
I love it … what a wonderful thing to share with your daughter! My daughter is slowly moving back into wearing skirts again. We have a few fabrics set aside to start a sewing project or two when a quiet weekend comes around. 🙂
it’s a beautiful skirt…It makes me want to sew one…or maybe. will you adopt me and make a beautiful skirt for me too ;o)?
love this little skirt ~ what a lovely way to make it beautiful!
I think I would like a skirt like this for myself. Great job, Ellen!
this skirt is so cute; i especially love the liner with the running stitches!
That skirt is seriously SO cute! Love the stitches, they make the flowers look like appliques! Great job!
love this skirt and I’ll definitely be wanting to make some for my girls. I’ve been slacking in their clothes making, but am excited now that warmer weather is closer!!!
Love the skirt. I have a few piles of fabric ready to make myself some
Love that idea of the lining poking out.
Gorgeous skirt! I love the idea of having the lining how as a feature like that.
so about this skirt…the pattern? Is it in your book?!
you know I think you would make fabulous kits or at least sell patterns!
It is adorable and very inspiring to say the least!
Ooooh this I love. I only have boys and I don’t do skirts (I don’t think they flatter me) but I am itching to make this in my size.
ditto, where is the pattern?
