I'm so happy with this skirt! A long time ago I made a basic A-line skirt pattern using Sew What! Skirts, and I've used it as the basis for quite a few skirts since then. Several months ago I took a class with Denyse Schmidt, and really enjoyed her "improv" style of putting together fabrics. I also bought a pack of vintage kimono scraps from her, and just got around to using them for the first time. So...here's what I ended up with:
That's the front, and ever so similar but slightly different, the back:
The colors aren't very accurate in these pictures...the main skirt fabric is a very dark brown/black wool crepe from Gorgeous Fabrics, and the kimono scraps are an assortment of blacks, browns, navy blues, and reds. Here's a couple of pictures of the fabrics in process:
I'm looking forward to wearing it!
