mom was throwing out these 2 skirts of hers that she never wore. there was this royal blue one, some wool/acrylic blend:
and this grey one, in a wool/acrylic blend with too-cutesy beading to one side:
i've had this free knit skirt pattern for ages. AGES. it's super cute, but i had no clue what fabric to use.
and then i had the brilliant idea to use BOTH skirts for their fabric to make this lindy petal skirt. i really wish i had enough of the blue to use it for the waistband. however, the waistband of the original skirt was much narrower than for the lindy, and i really wanted to do a wider waistband. SIGH. so charcoal grey waistband it was.
'round back:
i quite dig this skirt and actually had finished it before spring break, so 2 weeks ago. however, it was rainy today and i didn't feel like wearing a skirt. i'll post a pic of me in it soon!
i got really fly brass and leather pulls for my sewing desk from anthropologie! they were sold out online, but i thought i'd try visiting the store and hunting around JUST IN CASE. sure enough, they had some in the clearance bucket. $2.95 each! woot!!!
