I traced, cut, and sewed this skirt in about an hour earlier this evening. Isn't this the prettiest fabric? I have enough left for a top of some sort and probably a pair or two of undies from the leftovers.
The skirt is Jalie 2681. It has a total of 2 pieces. One is for the gores, which gets cut 8 times and the other is the flounce, which is cut twice. Fabric requirements are less than 2 yds., even for the largest size. I made View D, because I love flounces and also because I think I look better in skirts that are more fitted through the hips since I certainly don't need to add any additional visual width.
I just finished a review on PR. I couldn't believe mine was only the second write-up for this cute and FAST skirt. I'll definitely be making more of these since I love skirts for summer and I love easy patterns even more.
Now I'm off to bed. Yes, Peg, I do sleep — about 5 hours per night.
What a great outfit, Debbie!! I love everything about it; the top is fabulous, the matching skirt has lovely and flattering stylelines and the print is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWhere'd you get the skirt fabric? Love it! The top turned out great. Good job, as always.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. How did you do the tilted waist alteration, since this has an elastic waist, may I ask?
ReplyDeleteLovely skirt and top! I love seeing your wonderful creations.
ReplyDeleteCould you make this pattern into a full length skirt? If you think it would work I would HAVE to go buy me a pattern!!
