The new issue of One Thimble, a quarterly sewing ezine, is out and it's full of cute patterns! I especially love the versatility of the Cosmos Reversible Skirt by Sew Maris Designs.
I used some Art Gallery fabric from a couple years ago that I had in my stash. The line is called Indian Summer and Bitty Bee loves it! For the first side, I picked a light background with trees and teepees and mountains.

For the reverse side, I chose a darker fabric, this one in teal with feathers and cacti.
To go with the skirt, I found a teal long sleeved shirt and added a touch of embroidery to the front.
I really like the length of this skirt, it comes down to her knees,
which is a good length for back to school.
Plus, it's "dad-approved" at this length!

I did change up the construction just a little,
I made a casing for an enclosed elastic waistband after sewing the bottom scallops and turning, instead of the fold over elastic waistband.

I look forward to taking the time to read the rest of this issue of One Thimble, the patterns all look amazing and I hear there are some really good articles!

That skirt is wonderful (and I was wondering what that fabric was... love it!) I like the change. I really liked the FOE on it, as a different way, but this looks nice too.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love how you get the two looks from the one skirt!
