I think that it's fair to say that this is my all time favourite floral print ever* . And the proof of just how gorgeous it is is the fact that when it first arrived Bella grabbed it and ran. And yet, and this is a big 'and yet', there is no pink in it, what so ever. See? Proof.
Meaning that I was fairly confident that this skirt would be a hit. Or at least as confident as I can be when faced with the bizarre vagaries of an almost 4 year old.
Fortunately, so far I've been proven right and the skirt has been a hit. Of course that could all change. And change back. And change again. But at the moment? Big hit.
I used Liesl's Lazy Days skirt pattern, that can be found here, but instead of finishing the hem with ribbon, I used some binding that I made myself. This has got to be the quickest and easiest skirt ever - taking less than an hour from start to finish. Because you use the full width of the fabric, from selvedge to selvedge, there's almost no finishing of seams, and then you don't even have to hem it.
Bella has chosen a couple of other fabrics that she wants made in to skirts (all of which are pink) and because this is so easy, I'm happy to believe that I may actually be able to honour her requests.
(* Anna's 'social climber' in ice - I'm a huge fan of Anna Maria and can not wait to see her new collection - in fact I was tempted to stay on at Sew Hip a little longer just so that I could see a preview of it!)
