Curtain Skirt

  I had this left-over fabric from some Ikea textiles I bought for curtains several years ago. I just love the colors and print so I had to make something with the remnant. I whipped up a dress, but I had made the yoke too small and the body of the dress had no drape since the fabric is so thick so I ditched that. And then I attempted this skirt.
  I made it without a pattern and made a few errors. But these were excellent learning errors, like putting in darts in the rear before attaching the waistband, and how best to shape the waistband before cutting it, and cutting it on the bias. Excellent exercise for sharpening those sewing skills.
  I am very pleased with the end result. Cute skirt. Eye-catching and bright, like me!  One-of-a-kind! :)

More skirts

I finished a few more skirts and am now moving on to a hot pink Japanese cherry blossom brocade fabric halter top. Thanks to Deanna for being such a great inspiration (and loaning me this pattern). Happy sewing!

Sewing Projects

New skirts! I spend the past week making a few of these for my Etsy shop. I have a few more cut but not sewn together yet. It's been fun to make a small run of unique and cute little skirts. I hope they will land in good homes. And I got to use up some of my back-stock of fabrics. Now I have a good excuse to by some new yardage!
