I had no intentions of sewing my own summer wardrobe but boy am I having fun with this dressmaking thing! Especially if I get to sew with pretty luxurious Liberty lawns. I love them so it is bordering on addiction!
After getting over the initial fear of actually cutting into my precious fabric this tiered maxi skirt came together very quick and easy. It is just the most perfect thing to wear on a sunny day like today, I love it!
In other news, have you seen these exciting new paper piecing patterns yet?
Rainbow rack of spools and Button it by Kerry and Penny, available for purchase over at Sew-Ichigo
And Ayumi's Popsicles pattern which is available for purchase at Superbuzzy I can't wait to start on these blocks, they are fantastic!!

Yes you should have bare feet and flowers! Groovy baby!
ReplyDeleteThe patterns are lovely - sort of feel sorry for the penguin! Sigh!
Yes that's a fabulous skirt and you wear it so well :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love that look Leila! I think I have strong hippy tendencies! Thankyou for the pattern love too x
ReplyDeleteI think my mum started dressing me like that in the 70s - Mother's are always right, eventually!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful xxx
That skirt is just beautiful well done, I would have struggled to have cut into it too! I think it's a timeless pattern, I have worn a similar skirt in various colours and patterns for 30 odd years now x
ReplyDeleteI hasten to add not the same skirt, different skirts in a similar style, you know what I meant right? :0) x
ReplyDeleteWould have loved this, back in the day.
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt! Perfect for hitting the beach or a summer picnic. =D
ReplyDeleteThat's a v.pretty skirt, you should be well chuffed! The new range of liberty prints are so so lovely. I want to make dresses out of all of them :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, loving the Liberty look there, but yes, I do think you need at least a daisy chain in your hair ;o)
