elizabeth_mnWhipped this up pretty quick once I set down to do it.
This fabric is so popular right now at Treadle. Mary has a blouse she made from it being displayed in the store now, and I feel like every shift I work I sell a piece. It's a printed eyelet, and I love how the print has a sort of chintz feel. I got tons of compliments on this, really through no effort of my own.
I scored a 1.5 yd piece at the remnant price a few weeks ago, then I waited until payday to buy a piece of coordinating pink shot cotton with which I flatlined the eyelet throughout. It needed flatlining, or lining, or a slip or something, since the eyelet holes are big enough that modesty was an issue.
Blurry but you get the idea:
I used the same pattern as this ribbon-trimmed skirt and the navy blue skirt at the bottom here; a 6-panel flared skirt with a wide, curved yoke. I've tweaked it slightly since the first iteration and now I think it's my new favorite skirt, especially in the shorter (just below knee) length. The curved yoke fits my shape nicely and the flare is so cute! Plus it's just the right length and fullness for bicycle riding.
