I made this skirt - we went into the fabric shop a couple of weeks ago and I spied this seaside themed furnishing fabric. I do like a seaside themed fabric. I only had enough money for half a metre- so I used the polka dot fabric to hem and as waist binding. I just used an exisitng skirt as a guideline and drew around it with tailor's chalk onto the fabric. I had just enough scrap left to make a pocket. (I love a pocket) and I now like one pocket asymmetry.
I have found this fabric creases quite a bit, but I still like it - I feel this is an ideal skirt for summer holidays, eating ice cream and building sandcastles. I hope to test this theory next week as it's half term and I plan a trip to the seaside.
