Sew fast, so easy
Well, it took me about 5 hours. I reckon if I was
Yvette I could have done it in a lot less time. But I LOVE IT!!!!
I had made the Miss Twiss Hustle Bustle Skirt . This is another really great pattern, but when it was made I just wasn't feeling the love for the material, so I did a heck of a lot of Googling and came up with the Thai fisher (wo)men's skirt .
What can I say? A truly remarkable pattern which enabled me, a non-sewer, to make a great skirt. And I made some cool flat fell seams . This is the kind of seam found on denims - apparently it is particularly strong. It looks particularly good, IMHO.
There's going to be a few more of these, I reckon.

Woohoo, it is fabulous, what great fabric Well done, so whats next??
I need waist and hip measurements.
Well done ! Looking good for an almost first attempt :0)
I can see this as a skirt for a romantic evening - some silk Sari material in luscious colours, perhaps?

Great - looks lovely. Well done for a nearly first attempt. Sewing is addictive as knitting - be warned!
That is a cool looking skirt. I'd love to see a shorter version!
Oh India that is such a lovely skirt, just my sort of thing, off to follow that link immediately.
Thanks for your comment on the brooch, I will think about doing some destructions soon, they are just really circles of felt and I use a running stitch around the edges which a pull to rumple up a bit, like the ones Heather made, http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/ a while ago.
It's great. But ... you won't get me sewing. Takes too long.
Fab skirt! I think I'll have to try that with some of the 'excess' fabric from the studio... I'm not sure it'd suit me in my current...portlier than averag state, but I can try! (And then save it away for when the weight goes again!)
ONe of the things I really like about this skirt is the room for expansion and shrinkage!
