As if some sort of premonition came my way last fall, I ordered some fabric with the idea of making a couple of skirts for my spring and summer wardrobe. After borrowing the book "Sew What! Skirts" by Francesca DenHartog from the library I have a standing order pattern for a basic drawstring waist skirt based entirely on my specific measurements. Add to this some free time, skirt number one was born...
Alexander Henry in the Farmdale line....ordered from Fabricworm.
Orange bias trim with appliqued bird made from felted sweaters
The end result. Now if the cold wind would go away....
Happy Tuesday.
