2 Skirts for ME!

Okay, these are my first attempts at clothes for myself and they came out pretty well.

The blue one is for Easter and the other was my "practice" skirt. It is quite wearable, just not quite as perfect as the other one.

I made both of them by drafting my own pattern and using the book Sew What! Skirts- I highly recommend this to anyone who can sew a little. It does assume you have some basic sewing knowledge, but it gives all the instructions with the assumption that you don't have any special tools or equipment.

I love to wear skirts in the summer, and this will save me approx. 1 million dollars if I can keep making my own skirts.

These are both A-lines with a thick waistband, a couple of darts, and a zipper and hook and eye in the back. . Just in case you were wondering ;) The hems are actually straight- I didn't lay these out really well and I didn't want to iron them. But you can get the idea...


ETA: They are folded in half so I could fit them both in the picture- it is hard to tell when the picture is smaller. It looked normal on my computer.
