I made 2 of these skirts, from start to finish, before noon today.
This one was from the same vintage sheet I already used to make short jammies, a ruffled cafe curtain for my back door, and some heirloom seed packets and a covered canister, too!
I also finished up the first wrap skirt I started a long time ago.
This one is a little bit shorter; I messed up the hem when I tried to turn and sew it on the sewing machine, and so I had to trim it. It is really a WHOLE LOT easier to use your serger to make rolled hems!
Last year I made lots of short bias skirts for the summer, but this year I think this wrap style will be my go to skirt pattern. It uses 2 1/2 yards of fabric (as opposed to one yard, for the bias skirt), so this is a more ample and fuller skirt. I am loving this skirt pattern so much for the nice swish-y effect!
There is not so much as even an elastic casing in this skirt, just straight, simple sewing- so this would be an awesome very first pattern for a new seamstress to sew.
I don't have any other yardage I can use for making more of these now, and I am restraining myself from going online fabric shopping. But I know for sure I will be making a lot more of these wrap skirts. This is such a classic, and yes, chic, style of skirt, that I know I will be able to wear them year after year.
There are a lot more awesome patterns besides this wrap skirt in Chic and Simple Sewing
I really appreciate you making all your amazon orders through links to Amazon on my site! Happy Sewing!
