Wrapping Up at Market

I was not at Quilt Market in Houston last week, but something I made was.

Perhaps you saw this:

or maybe this:

while you were there (on a person, of course, not my decrepit, listing dress form)?

It was a simple reversible wrap skirt made from this tutorial on Sew Mama Sew. The purple side is the cheater print from Asbury (available in January), the yellow is a print from Frippery (in stores now), and the waistband is another Asbury print, all by Thomas Knauer.

And, because I’m supremely lazy and technology-savvy, rather than draw out the pattern on paper like the tutorial suggested (which required finding my roll of craft paper, a straight edge, etc), I just mocked it up in real-size on the computer and printed it out. You reap the benefit: here is a downloadable pattern for a 34″ waist, approximately knee-length (20″) skirt. Well, if you’re 34″ waist ± an inch or two (it’s a wrap skirt, after all). Cutting instructions are included based on what I did. You’ll have to refer to Sew Mama Sew for the construction instructions, though.

I foresee a skirt or two of my own from this pattern in the future… I just have to decide what to make it out of—oh, the options!

This is great! I printed it. We’ll see if I have time to find the right fabric and make it before I leave on my trip but I know I’m going to need skirts and this saves me a ton of time. I only need to add 2 inches so that’s way better than starting from scratch 😀 THANKS!!
