After a few months of working on big historical costuming projects, I needed a break for a quick vintage project I could whip up for some instant gratification sewing.
So a dirndl skirt in the cutest camera novelty print fabric was just the ticket! Usually, I stay away from novelty prints but I just had to have this one being that my husband is a photographer.
It didn’t hurt that the print included three of my favorite colors-mint, orange and chartreuse! I’m not sure I would have picked to pair these colors together myself but somehow they work. More photos and construction details over on my blog.
Have you tried any new prints or color combinations lately?
That’s really fun, and I love the color combo!
I love this skirt! It’s so cute. I just bought a camera fabric to make a circle skirt for a friend, who is a photographer.
I completely understand the need to make a quick, instant-gratification project. Sometimes I get so bogged down in the big stuff, I need to make something that will be done TODAY.
WOW! Great job and the fabric is amazing! Where did you find it! I haven’t been sewing much lately, I’ve been too busy promoting my vintage romantic ghost story book, but that skirt it killing me! I love it soooo much. Hopping over to your blog to check out more!
