My new skirt!




Not too bad for a skirt made in 1 day! I used Heather Bailey Pop Garden fabric and the Hip Skirts pattern. I have a ton of fabric, but not much in enough yardage in a skirt for me. I usually buy in 1-2 yard increments for my eleanor bean cloth bags or for something for Eleanor. So, it's a little more bright than what I would normally pick out. But it's pretty and comfortable and not jeans. lol It's not a maternity pattern, just an elastic waistband skirt. Now I must make more!! :)

I love this skirt. Just an elastic waist band you say? I might have to whip up a few for myself, I'm to the point of jeans being uncomfortable, but I don't quite need that maternity panel yet.

Sara, the skirt sits low on my hips, and has a small elastic waistband. The only thing I would change is making the front a little shorter than the back. That way, when I push the skirt under my belly, it's not longer in front. But it was still a very easy pattern!
