Burda Style For people who sew
Description
entry for the Alabama Studio Style contest
Just me, my dog, and my patchwork skirt.
The handsewn patchwork applique on this corduroy skirt as well as the mix-and-match bias binding at the hem were cut from sewing project scraps and upcycled plaid shirts. I found the green corduroy fabric at my fabulous local thrift store.
I drafted the skirt using directions in Cal Patch’s book _ Design-It-Yourself Clothes: Patternmaking Simplified_ .

Its great. I like the concept of patchwork on the skirt. The fabrics you’ve chosen all work really well together.
