I've been stewing over some Joel Dewberry fabric since I bought it last fall. I bought it initially thinking I would make a skirt. Then I thought maybe it would make a cool tunic. Then it didn't get made for the fall. I pulled it out the other day and after a few consults with some friends I went back to the initial plan! The other problem is that the print is so big and lovely that I didn't want to cut it up into two tiers.
I tweaked that original pattern into a simple dropped waist skirt and I love it!!
I'm planning a {not a} tutorial on this skirt soon!
What did you do this week? Can't wait to see!

Oh how I wish I had your mad skills at sewing skirts!! I would fill my closet with them. :o) Your skirt is too cute! Love the happy summer colors!!
Have a great weekend. hugs, Trish
Skirts are essential for summer! so glad you found an orange that you like. It looks great with your favorite color, too!
Beautiful skirts! They look like they'd be fun to wear!
Cute! My daughter would love it.
I LOVE skirts and wear them all the time! And I love you, too! I wish I could sew.... Looking forward to the not tutorial.
Oh my! I love, love, LOVE that skirt! I mean, they're both adorable; but I love what you ended up doing with the second one. That print is a real eye-pleaser!
I love those skirts! I've been sewing lots of summer skirts/dresses for my daughters but seeing this, maybe I should think about trying to sew one for myself - certainly would be perfect for the 90 degree weather we are having! Thanks for another Sew and Tell Friday.
Both skirts are super cute! I always think skirts keep you cooler in summer. Very inspiring ... I see a new skirt in my future!
Yay, skirts and more skirts! :D I will make one, one day. As for now, I have visions of you transitioning the look of the entire base this summer with all women not in uniform wearing bright and lively skirts!
Great skirts. I love skirts in the summer. Can't wait to see your... nottatute!
very cute skirt!
I love the orange print skirt - what fun!
I have been looking for a simple skirt with only elastic and this would be great!
Love the new skirt!!
Pretty skirt and I love all the fabrics you've used.
Did you ever do a tutorial for the drop skirt? I love it, but can't find it on your blog.
