Made it through in tact



I finished my skirt yesterday morning and then successfully wore it all day long! I was a little nervous that it would instantly shred into teeny tiny pieces or spontaneously combust while I sat at my desk, but have no fear! The skirt and I made it through in tact.


When the very sweet Brie encouraged me to take this on, she described it as a quick "win" project. So right! It's immensely satisfying to make something, and then get to wear it.


If you want to make your own (Do it! We can all be super cute Flirt Skirt girls!), visit Anna Maria Horner site's for the free tutorial


P.S.: I was really missing having roommates when I put this outfit together -- can I wear that bright blue cardigan with the skirt?! I'm trying to be less boring with clothes, but I was second guessing myself all day!

  1. Ha! I would do the same thing…you wore it “hot off the sewing machine”! It turned out darling :). Btw, thanks for mentioning Lilly P. swimsuits…I must check them out before taking the dreaded “plunge” (ha!)

  4. Hi Julie,

    Thanks for commenting on my blog! I'm so glad you like it, please keep reading! I love the skirt! I once made a fancy dress costume (hand sewn) and it fell apart during the night I wore it. Luckily I had a belt to hold it up lol! But i'd love to try again! Well done!
