Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Classic, Romantic


What was your inspiration?

I have always wanted to have a red skirt.

What are you most proud of?

That I finished it! and that it looks awesome! I was a little nervous about the alterations part, but found that that was more fun than I had anticipated. I word the skirt with a black top/kind of a romantic Spanish style and it was amazing. Finally, a length that I like and a nice fit. I am really happy with the skirt, and feel confident that I could do another one. I'm looking forward to making more skirts!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time and use a fabric and color that you love (at least eventually make it in a fabric and color that you love)

Will post a better picture. I was just so excited to share my success! Thanks Diana. You're a great teacher. Your book is awesome and I enjoy learning from you. I am interested in embelishing and have ordered your embroidery book. Can't wait to get it? Will you be offering another class on Craftsy?
