I fell in love with these Aviary 2 fabrics at Crafty Laine and knew just what to do with them: make my favorite skirt to match my favorite cardi. It’s 6 panels based off the Yard Sale Wrap Skirt from Weekend Sewing (the panels have been altered slightly–I took off about 6 inches off the bottom and then widened the angle so that I still end up with the same sweep measurement) with a side zip and a straight waistband. It’s the perfect twirly girly skirt pattern. I slightly prefer the wrap version, but since you can get by with 2 yards of fabric for this one you can make it for under $20. I love the contrasting waistband on this version of my favorite skirt, and will have to do it again! It’s like a built in belt!
I finished it in time to wear to Art Hop at Crafty Laine where our FRMQG was featured last week, but since it was snowing I had to wear it with a pair of tights. The skirt clings terribly to tights, but it was that or hypothermia in May!
Jennifer Rodriguez - That is adorable!! I have that book and will have to make one now =)
Susanne - Cute cute skirt!!!! I think I need one 🙂
You remind me of another reason we decided to sell our CO property.
Ashley - Totally cute, and it looks great on you!
Jennifer - Absolutely adorable! I love that fabric too. In fact I will be giving away fat quarters tomorrow as part of Sew Mama Sew giveaway day.
I think it is really great you know how to sew clothing. I am completely intimidated by garment sewing.
Dolores @ A Labour of Love - Really cute outfit, even with the tights! Try rubbing some hand cream over your tights to get rid of electrostatic cling.
I am in fear of making clothes for myself so I really admire you!

Fran - Gorgeous!
nicke - Holy crap that is so cute!
Audrey - I really need to figure out how you have altered this pattern because your skirts are so stinking cute. I love that you are able to make them out of less than two yards too! Will you please share details?:)
Edamommy - That is the *cutest* outfit!!
Kelly Henry - So cute!!!!!!!
