This skirt is so simple to sew up and yet so cute and interesting to me. I now want one in every color. A bright yellow one would be fun for spring and summer, maybe even something made in a fabric with some more drape to it.
For my latest version, I left off the pockets and belt loops -- such a quick sew without those fiddly parts. I used a bright red cotton twill picked up on a recent trip to Joann's. I tend to buy most of my fabric online, since I don't live close to any super amazing shops. Joann's is usually just good for thread and notions, but sometimes I get lucky.
I've worn this skirt twice in real life already. It's fun to style with a striped shirt for a nautical look, but it also works well with a lot of other things in my closet. Would you guys be mad if I just wore this baby every day of Me-Made-May?
Really cute! This makes me want to try a Chardon in a fabric with more stiffness. I've only made one in a really drapey chambray, and it's soooo cute and comfortable. I highly recommend you make a drapey version!
ReplyDeleteCuuute!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've been eyeing up this pattern for a long time and your version makes me want it even more! So, so cute! I love it in red!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I really need to make this up again - I feel like I got the sizing wrong, even though I used the one my measurements match. Maybe because it hits below the natural waist, which is definitely a different measurement on me ;) Yours fits perfectly! Love the styling too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally! For me, the skirt hits a bit above my natural waist, then when I belt it the belt sits at my waist. I don't know if that helps, but I do know the version you made is totally adorable on you. :)
DeleteSo cute! This pattern looks amazing in red and absolutely perfect with a striped shirt. I love it! You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! And that bright red is beautiful. I can imagine it will become a regular in your outfits! (And I think it could be an interesting challenge: 31 different outfits with one red skirt ;-))
ReplyDeleteI'd wear it everyday too!
ReplyDeleteI would certainly wear it every day! It is wonderful. It is sewn so perfectly. Job well done!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You could make a rainbow of them and wear one everyday (I would)
ReplyDeleteSuper super cute! Seriously, I love this skirt - it is perfect in so many ways! Love the crisp red fabric you have picked and I don't doubt for a second that it goes with so many things in your wardrobe.
