Adult Prairie Skirt

Last week I showed you how to make a cute skirt for back to school.

I was even lucky enough to have it featured on CraftGossip.  Anne Weaver picks out what sewing 'gossip' to share with their readers and here's what she wrote about my little project:

Tamara from Etcetorize shows how to make a girl’s prairie skirt for back-to-school. The long ruffle sewn on to a yoke creates a full skirt without making it too bulky through the hips and waist. She gives the dimensions she used to make one for her 5 year old niece, but you can easily adjust them to make a skirt larger or smaller. This would be cute for the tween set, or even in an adult size. 

What she didn't know at the time was that I had already made a larger version for myself!

Don't ask me what measurements I used, because I just eyeballed the whole thing and used the same concept that I did with the girl's skirt.

I don't ever wear this silhouette but it's not bad.  I think it's good for people trying to add curves (like me) or hide curves (like Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Love Hewitt-they both rely heavily on this style).  The border print cotton fabric gives it a very folksy feel.  Hopefully, I don't like like I'm about to go to a hoe down.

This is the first time you're seeing my new bangs too!  I asked for your opinion on my new haircut here, and as soon as I read the comment from the lovely Ana from Portugal you couldn't hold me back..." I think with bangs you look like younger :)! ".  Yup, she said the magic word~
