A Market Skirt

Photobucket
For several months I've had a tutorial for a pretty skirt bookmarked. I would open it, ooh & ahh and then close it with a sigh. I was intimidated.

This week I picked up some pretty white cotton and eyelet fabric and tackled the skirt. I wish I had made one sooner. It was super easy, all straight lines and very clear directions. It also made me want to buy a serger so I can have pretty finished seams. For now I want to practice french seams so I can still have pretty finished seams.

I want to make a matching skirt for Delilah, a couple more for Lydia and maybe one for myself. There is an option to add pockets and I'm going to do that. She was just too excited to wear it and that put a smile on my face. :) If you want to make a pretty skirt like this you can find the Market Skirt tutorial here.

Thanks for visiting!

  1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! You should TOTALLY make one for yourself too! I had thought about making these for the girls and I for Easter outfits but I don't have them this year :-/ Maybe I'll make Spring Outfits and take some more Spring Pics :) Then I won't have that pesky lessthanaweekfromnow deadline ;-)

  4. I saw you are in Ft Campbell. My sisters husband was stationed there for a couple of years and they really liked it there. It is so beautiful! Also some friends from my church just got stationed there, the Kolans, They left here about 2 weeks ago. They have twin girls about 2 years old. I don't know if they are on the Kentucky or the Tennessee side.
    Thanks for coming to the blog and leaving a comment.
    This skirt is really cute! French seams are actually pretty easy. Pillowcases are really easy to practice them on.
