Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This was my version and contest entry of the a-plus a-line skirt. I added satin piping to the pleats so they stood out a bit more.

Hi Aimee! I find this skirt an inspiring use of piping. It is lovely! I featured it on my blog. If you prefer it not to appear let me know and I will remove it.

I know this is late, but what a great use of tartan – I am inspired. I was non-plussed about the pattern, but you’ve used it in such a groovy way.
