About a week ago I had this crazy idea. What if I made another half-circle skirt, but I made it fully reversible? Little did I know that it wouldn’t be as easy as I first thought when it popped into my head, but I made it work, and I think its pretty fab! I ended [...]

I love playing with fun color combinations! This one makes me feel like a whole pack of brightly colored bubble gum! I just adore circle skirts! When I found this great teal twill, I knew it was going to be one! I’m trying to make more solid basics to wear with printed separates, but I [...]

I am so freaking excited to finally be able to share this outfit with you guys. I got the idea for this outfit a few days before Christmas. I bought the watermelon fabric from Spotlight a while ago and was always planning to turn it into a skirt but when I was going through my [...]

I paired [...]

After sewing Butterick 4790 a few times, I was really wanting a circle skirt that wasn’t attached to a dress. I’m trying to give myself some separates this time in my sewing, and create some eye-catching yet still versatile pieces to mix and match. I also love red, and polka dots. A week ago I [...]

I have 2 metres of retro looking fabric which I can just imagine as a circle skirt but….it’s only 45″ wide. So the pattern peice won’t fit on the fabric. I have an idea which is to fold the pattern peice in half and make it shorter (kneelength) in order for it to fit the [...]
