My last post was for a tablecloth and this one is for a "tablecloth" skirt. Ha! That's totally coincidental.I've wanted to make this skirt since I saw on Shams' blog.
Thank you for sharing your pattern!
I followed her instructions as to size and sewing directions except I hemmed mine last thing. I was almost finished with it and realized it was too long. So I took 2" off just the long points.
And now that I've made it, I love it!
It fits great, hangs so nicely and it swishes when I walk :)
Since it takes over 3 yards
of fabric, I made sure to pick something that's not too heavy. This fabric is perfect for this skirt. It's a very drapey, soft fabric, but ravels horribly, and I believe is a rayon. I found in my stash, and I have no idea when or where I got it. There were a couple of rips in the fabric, but I was able to cut around them.
Here's a picture of the back.
Great skirt - looks very comfortable but stylish. Very nice.
