This time I have made a skirt and it is self drafted, but dead easy.
I found this fabulous floral print cotton on ebay a few weeks ago and had to cut into it straight away. I bought 3 metres and used pretty much all of it in this skirt.
Ok, so it's self drafted so you can't have the pattern, but you can make one if you have a little experience with drafting or altering patterns! Just pop on over to the BHL website and use their awesome circle skirt app to get some waistband measurements and you're off!
I split mine into 7 panels (divide half circle into 8 panels and join 2 of these together for centre back panel) as per below.
Here it is all joined and laid out on the floor.
I created some pockets that get sewn in with the front side panels (which are a little too low unfortunately, oops!)...
and also a centre front button placket. How awesome are these buttons by the way? I have been ordering buttons from Textile Garden for some time now as Maggie has the most beautiful selection. I always seem to find the perfect match in her shop!
Not much else to say really. I French seamed everything for a quality finish and I am loving having a colourful floral print in my wardrobe.
