green wrap

Filed under: Sewing — admin at 5:01 pm on Friday, June 29, 2007

I actually finished this skirt about 4 weeks ago and only had to hem it- it’s taken me this long! As always, I learn every time I sew- I love that and kind of dislike it as well.

The pattern was found at my local thrift for a quarter and it fits my Elisabeth perfectly. I am envisioning one more for the summer with a fun freezer paper stencil and then some definite “fall-ish” skirts, but we are not talking or thinking fall. Although the stores sure are pushing out all the summer merchandise. Weird. Are there really that many people that buy ahead?

Happy Weekend!

PS- Is that thread bothering anyone? It is me, I thought for a moment to re-shoot the skirt but then quickly talked myself into not being a perfectionist.

Great find (pattern) and great work (skirt)! At first I thought this was you. I’d totally want this skirt in my size.

I love the skirt! And the thread proves that you didn’t cut and paste it from a cool clothing web site! :-)

Oh, I’m with you: who can think about fall right in the heat of the summer? I can’t remember ever shopping for school more than 2 weeks ahead, anyway.

Love the skirt, and I think the thread actually works. Leave it!

I thought this was you, too! This is such a cute skirt and one I’d wear–like something out of the Boden catalog. I would not have noticed the thread unless you mentioned it, but did love the contrasting white stitching. Great job!!

I LOVE this skirt and wish I had this pattern myself to make my oldest a skirt for this fall for back to school. Good color as well for the skirt.
