Windy City Skirt

I am so excited about this skirt. This was my first applique design and I am hooked! I set out to design a skirt using this book here (which I absolutely love by the way!) Unfortunately, something went awry. I miscalculated a measurement and my skirt ended up a bit on the short side. I wanted to lengthen it, but was out of my original fabric. The only fabric that I had that would coordinate was some old drapery fabric that I had in my closet. Never one to back down from a chance to be thrifty, I recycled the drapery fabric and in the process decided to try my hand at a little bit of applique and WALAH (Voila)! The Windy City Skirt.

This skirt started out as the “Ocean Waves” skirt, but my kids thought that the design looked more like the wind blowing. Ha Ha!

Tutorial to come!
