While I Dig Through My Mountainous Stash..I Give You This


This skirt was made last summer and I hadn't gotten around to posting it...I wonder why that happens?? For a while last year I was in love with the skirts and dresses that I had seen at Anthropologie. You know..the ones with the scenic prints on them. Serious love. So when I found this fabric, I snapped it up because I also love anything nautical, although this may be a bit too literal, I love it just the same.


 I made this skirt in the same fashion that I made this red skirt.. I really should write a post on the process. It is like a drindl skirt except that I pleat it on my dress form instead of gathering it. Very easy and can be done with just a meter of fabric!
I know that this skirt is not for everyone but it is most definitely me. Do you have me mades that you just adore despite what others may think?

    Beautiful! I totally love the scenery and it looks right at home there. I'm sure your work is much better than Anthropology, they underwhelm me up close.

    I love it! I think the fabric is great, and I really like the style. And I am undertaking a ridiculous stash busting pledge, with your post the other day pushing me over the edge, ha. I'll be blogging about it (hopefully) tomorrow.

      Thanks Kelly! I know I will be so happy with myself for accomplishing this stash busting challenge...I'm trying to treat my stash like it's my own personal shop. But boy is it hard when I see new beautiful fabrics everywhere online!!! We can cheer each other on through the process! Gooooooo Kelly!!! (insert jump and pom pom shake here!)

    That fabric is awesome, not too literal at all.

    I just love this skirt Margot and you are very cool to do your 'photo shoot' down at the beach in it! What is the pattern? It is such a lovely style.

    This is gorgeous! I love the fabric and the colours are gorgeous too. I've still never tried making a Dirndl skirt and I love how you've substituted the gathers for pleats, it gives it a great shape.
