I’ve been making these patchwork twirl skirts.
Cause they’re fun.
And they’re cute.
And they’re easy.
Easy to make, not to shag like loose women.
The only problem is that I have a shortage of little girls to wear them so I decided I needed to try a big girl version of the skirt.
I started with 9 fabrics—I chose brown for a more “mature” feel.
I sliced them into a bunch—and I mean a whole bunch—of 7X7 inch squares; then with a few quick stitches and a bit of gathering I ended up with this:
The patchwork twirl skirt all grown up.
And let me tell ya, it twirls real good like.
Cordelia made me spin her around and around until we both got dizzy.
I gave it a yoke and put in a side zipper to give a smoother, more flattering look.
It has 3 tiers of gathered patchwork awesomeness
So what do ya think? Is it as cute in the grown up version? I can’t decide
