Description
This is a skirt I actually finished last month already, but had no time to upload. Here it goes! :)
The fabric is wool and very soft and warm. I like the color a lot because it is so feminine (hope that this will show up on the photos, it is a dark rosé/apricot). I did not need a pattern for this one. Everything is made out of rectangles! The waistband, the skirt and even the bow!
Material Notes
wool, zipper, 2 small snap fastener

It’s adorable. I tried to make the Linda skirt ages ago and eventually gave up, but you’ve inspired me to re-attempt it. Add a wider yoke, and a bow. Now why didn’t I think of that? _

This is gorgeous! I have had something similar to this in my head for a while and now I have to courage to give it a go! Thank you!

Love this! Very inspiring — gives me hope that I can create a skirt on my own without a pattern!

What parts of your body did you measure to come up with your pattern sizes? Waist and hip? And how did you know how much extra to add for the gathering around the waist? I appreciate your help!

That is right! You need to measure your waist for the waistband. But consider that the waistband is about 10cm wide, so maybe you should take the largest measurement, if you do not use some stretch fabric. (for breathing) :)
Then you need to add some allowance for the zipper. I usually cut pieces a little larger. You can always adjust afterwards.
For the gathering I actually did not know how much extra would be appropriate and I am glad that it turned out, the way it has! ;)
A little hint: My hip is about 90cm and I cut the skirt piece 155cm in width. I guess, a minimum of 1.5 time your hip size should be good. The wider you make it the more gathering you will get.
I hope this was helpful!
Do not hesitate to ask again! :)

This is so sweet – I’m thinking it’s look great for summer in a polka-dot patterned fabric!
Feb 9, 2010, 07.10 PMby carottesauvage
Exquisite detail, your triangles kick ass!

i LOVE the bow idea! it adds such a great touch to the skirt! you’ve done a wonderful job :D
Feb 9, 2010, 01.48 PMby calicocouture
How cute! I love the bow idea. I may have to steal it for the summer skirts I want to make. ;)

Beautiful! And what a clever idea with the bow! The skirt really suits you well and I love the playfulness of it.

So feminine and modern but with a darling retro feel! I’d love a how-to on the bow.

No problem! :)
Give me about a week or two, as I am quite busy at the moment. I will let you know as soon as I upload a how-to!
Feb 8, 2010, 09.10 PMby sandoz18
That would be great!!!
Feb 10, 2010, 11.12 PMby nettevivante
Just wanted to let you know, that I was able to find a little time (by sleeping less)! :)
I have just uploaded the “how to” for the bow. You can see it in my studio or the learning section. Hope you will enjoy it!
Feb 11, 2010, 12.24 AMby sandoz18
Thank you, thank you! I’m sure I’m not the only one who will appreciate it!! :)

such a sweet skirt!
Feb 8, 2010, 10.32 AMby sewella
It looks lovely! I am also intrigued by the bow and the zipper!

Thank you!
Actually, the solution is quite practical and I guess not very professional. The bow is stitched on the waistband only on the right hand side. For the other side I used small snap-fastener. ;)

Oh, what a clever idea! I like it!
