Poppy Skirt
Aug. 20th, 2012 08:25 amWhen I unwrapped this bolt of fabric at work a couple weeks ago, I just knew I had to have some. And I really don't usually impulse-buy like that!

( One more )
I snapped these photos on my way out the door, so they are kinda blurry.
The large-scale print was perfect for a wide gored skirt. I used my trusty 5-gore skirt pattern, but I lengthened the top a bit to make it sit higher on my waist (like everything lately).
It went together in about an hour. I wore it to work and got tons of compliments. This is one of those easy projects where you don't really have to do anything but pick the right fabric.
