I made another hairpin skirt.
This time with a sewing machine and with more material.
I adore it!
I used more material than last time to make it really gathered. I also made it even longer as I’m sick and tired of skirts that I can’t bend over in. This skirt design is so super easy it took me less than an hour. Three seams, some elastic and you’re done.
And top tip, the polka dots mean that it’s really easy to see where you’re cutting. I measured everything in polka-dots!
I want to twirl around and sing songs to woodland creatures.
(Maybe it’s because of my new The Little Mermaid iphone case that I’m thinking disney. I’m so supercool.)
I may even attempt to take some decent outfit photos for this one (instead of hiding out in the work bathrooms). Now that’s me stepping outside of my comfort zone.

Love the skirt. It’s so cheerful! And it almost sounds like something I could make with my very limited sewing skills.

Oh its definitely a limited sewing skills skirt.
I’ve worn it for three days straight now!

Oh, how fantastic! That is definitely a “twirl around, sing to woodland creatures” skirt! Great fabric, and I love the twirliness of it, and the way you’ve paired it with the black tights and tank for awesome contrast.
