Half Meter Skirts {Blogtoberfest Day 20}

With the two half meter pieces I bought from Duckcloth at the BHG show on the weekend, the Two Little Banshees Half Meter Skirt tutorial that I saved in my favourites a week or so ago was perfect.

Fabric: Robert Kauffman

For the second skirt I cut the two pieces out with the same measurements as the tutorial, but instead of gathers I put in pleats at the front instead and added a matching grey binding to the hem instead of a "normal" folded hem.

Fabric: Echino Migratory Bird in Magenta

I think this Echino skirt is one of my favourites of the ones I have made for Isabella, it looks like such a pretty party skirt.

  2. Oh they look easy... might branch out and give them a go at some stage... in all that spare time!

    This is sad, my first load of the day used to be the bank, now it is your blog!
