I've been making skirts like crazy and love how each one reveals itself as I go along sewing and designing

I used up some of my thousands of scraps
and hid a very chopped up hem.
The button down skirts can be tricky to fit unlike the forgiving knits
I used up parts of a few shirts and more scraps
This piece from another shirt front gives an extra pocket on the hip.
Much of this skirt is from fabric that is new but was end of run or found at my local thrift store.
The waist band is from the hem of a tee. I end up with a lot of circular pieces when
I cut tees shorter to make waistbands for dresses.

Patterns galore and very Springy. Not a winter skirt at all.

Thank you all for commenting. Feedback is really helpful to see direction in my work. Heather, no patterns. Once you do a few,it becomes second nature to get what you envision. Try it, you'll see.
