Description

This was the first project I made with my new sewing machine. Easy and quick to start it off!

Sorry about the bathroom photo!!! :S But couldn’t do it without the mirror.

I added a picture with a simple explanation of how you can draft your own pattern.

    I might make it – it looks easy and cute. Do you interface the waistband?

    Beautiful!!! Absolutely love the waist and the full skirt and the fabric is awesome! Have to make one for myself, if you don’t mind.

    Thank you for the comments! I made it using a free pattern that I uploaded some time ago from burda. But I can’t find it here anymore… Anyway it is quite simple… a triangle repeated 8 times. I’ll try to draw a simple explannation of how you can draft you own pattern and I’ll post it with the pictures ;)
