Description

My mum sent me this fabric, I’m still not sure how much I like it, but anyway I decided to use a skirt I already own to make a pattern for this. It was the first time I’d tried gathering, which worked perfectly after I’d found handy instructions on this website! I had a lot of fun making it, but I’m going to have to wait for slightly warmer weather before I wear it, because I don’t think It’ll look good with tights!
I think I’ll make it again but with a lighter cotton.

Material Notes

Heavy cotton mix, but not sure what with!

    Thanks for the many comments, I have passed the compliments on to my mum :-) and now feel a lot more confident about the skirt!

    You are not sure? I was sure the moment I saw your project in the listing! The fabric is awesome (and that’s exactly what I thought then) and you made a very cute spring-summery skirt with it! Great job on the gathers!!!

    Did you make a waist band and simply attach the gathered fabric? It looks great I’d love a short tutorial.

    i think its pretty fabric, it is quite summery tho with the flowers, but you could always wear it with nude tights to keep you warm too.

    If you don’t like that fabric, send it on down to London! The skirt is gorgeous and the gathering looks perfect.
