That's a Wrap!


I finished Autumn's wrap skirt early last Friday, and she was thrilled to be able to wear it that very day. Unfortunately, I forgot to take her picture! The next morning, I whipped one up for myself. I'll definitely be making a few more of these. They go together quickly, and are really comfortable to wear. I made Autumn's as directed in Sew What! Skirts. I made two changes for mine. I cut the waistband at four inches rather than three, to make it just a little wider, and I added interfacing to the waistband. Because you place a button hole in the band for the tie to slip through, it gave it more substance.


And I wore mine to worship on Sunday.

  13. I wished we lived closer then you could teach me to sew; maybe then I'd enjoy it. :-) My few experiences were far from enjoyable!

    I love the fabric.
