Description

This skirt is brought to you courtesy of Fabric Mart Shetland wool sales. They had some pretty rad sales for the holidays and I went a little bonkers. This wool jumped out at me and I felt like it would make the perfect winter circle skirt to go with the blue silk blouse I had planned on making. More on that in a different post.

I measured everything prior to the holidays to make this skirt and thanks to all the MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF FOOD I had to suck it in a bit. That will change soon, I assure you. I did do a horsehair braid for the hem to make it poofy. More about it on my blog

shetland wool, zipper, horsehair braid
