This weekend I finished up a "Party Skirt" that I started a few weeks ago.
I used the Party Skirt tutorial from Creative Spaces.
The hardest think about it was figuring out how much poof to give it with the gathers. My first try with the skirt it ended up looking a bit like tutu. So I ended up unpicking it and taking some of the gathers out.
I made it so the invisible zipper is in the back and I added some side "darts" on the waistband to make it fit me a little better.
Here's what the darts look like on the inside.
This skirt was a little risky for me because I generally steer clear of the is style, but I'm happy with the turn out and it was fun to have something new to wear on Sunday. And I just love the bow on the front!
Just for fun I am entering it into CrafterHours "Skirt Week" .
Bye for now!
Cute! I'm itching to make a skirt, but I don't need any more! Last year I made a ton of skirts and dresses, and now that we moved it doesn't get nearly as hot…

Looks gorgeous! The darts are a great idea. I don't need extra poufiness around my middle. 🙂
