Vintage Simplicity 7395 wrap skirt

Hi! Long time lurker, finally contributing.

This is my version of vintage Simplicity 7395 (short skirt) dated 1976, gifted to me (along with numerous other 70s gems) by a very dear friend.

I adore how this turned out and who doesn’t love the idea of a hot air balloon print skirt??

This was a super simple and quick make – there are no closures like zips or buttons to deal with being an easy-to-wear back wrap skirt.

I did not need to make any alterations to this one, it fit right out of the envelope, which NEVER happens.

I used a modern Japanese cotton poplin in a 1950′s vintage print – who doesn’t like to mix decades??

If you’d like to pop over to my blog you can get more details there. I have a few more projects to share, can’t wait to join such a gifted and generous community of sewers!
