happy skirt!



My very own pattern! The fabric is 100% cotton Amy Butler from the www.quiltedmooseonline.com ! I really like the drop waist and yoke. I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted it to look like. The main part of the skirt is a yard of fabric cut in half the "long" way and gathered (jsut about 1.5.) I wanted to add the orange and lavender print so I cut a 3" strip on the bias and gathered it slightly, not even 1.5 mor like 1.333....I used the pinking shears and didn't finish the edges. The contrast of the finished top and "un" finished bottom make me happy. I think when it gets washed it will fray nicely.
