Description
I have been wanting a high wasted skirt. I tried another one in purple wool, but the fit wasn’t good, so I tried my hand at a new project. (I gave the purple skirt to my roommate, who it fit fabulously!).
Pattern: The pattern is from www.burdastyle.com. They offer open source patterns, and it was therefore free. I was drawn to the pattern because it was a high wasted skirt, but also because all of the photos of user creations turned out looking fabulous.
Material Notes
Fabric: The fabric is a purply-blue heavy weight cotton, with a little bit of stretch. When I washed it after getting it from the thrift store it got a wrinkle-dye look to it. I liked the effect so I went ahead an used it!
