Backside.
Front. Using "The Market Skirt" tutorial as a base/guide. I obviously did some things to it to make it my own.
I then added an elastic waist band and some red, white and blue tulle to the bottom hem.
And viola! Finished product. I was quite pleased with myself as this was my first skirt I have ever made and I have a really cheap, crappy sewing machine that makes every stitch twice as long!
This is Reese's 4th of July party skirt that she'll wear while we're up in Washington partying. I have a solid cream colored shirt that I will be adding some patriotic applique to AND a cute headband to match! Watch out! I've got the craft bug.
That same night I found some old patriotic-ish fabric from years ago and decided to whip up a more traditional Market Skirt that is longer and without pockets. This is Reese's Memorial Day/Weekend skirt.
Reese really wanted a skirt that she could wear
now vs. the next holiday, so I also whipped out this skirt...the same night. I was up LAAAATE just so she could wear it to school the next day. The pockets proved to be a big challenge for me. I just couldn't get my machine to cooperate for me and if I had had a Serger, well, life and this skirt would have been a lot easier.
