75 cent skirt
I made this skirt from some yardage I had in my stash, bought years ago in a thrift store. The lining fabric was also from my hoard, as was the interfacing and thread. I did have to buy the zipper – for 75 cents.
I used a Burda magazine pattern but because the panels were too large for my fabric I drafted a version with 6 smaller panels instead of 2 large. That worked out really well. I alternated the grain direction and the fabric hangs beautifully.
I can’t decide whether the skirt looks cute or like drapery. M likes it; my jury’s still out.

I love the fabric, though I wish I could see it on you…

I agree with Eliza, I would like to see it on. I don’t think the fabric looks like drapery at all.

Yup, me too, I want to see it on! It does not look like drapery, and I am curious what color the lining is etc…You could wear a big bulky sweater with it and army boots… FUN!

Drapery looked great on the von Trapp kids, maybe the two can co-exist for you?

I’ll try to get some pictures of it on, but if I’m aiming for the Von Trapp look, I’ll need to make a matching blouse first.
