The Skirt

Happy Friday y'all! With over 100 page views, more than any other blog post, my tutorial of the Simplicity 4236 is the most viewed tutorial on my blog. Who knew that when I posted it over two and a half years ago people would enjoy it so much? Well, maybe I did.

I love the pattern because it is so easy to whip up on a weekend or a long afternoon. I have made over half a dozen skirts with this pattern. It has a very flattering style to it. Plus, when you are making your own clothes, you can design it in any way that you want. Add ruffles, a contrasting bias tape, the list is almost endless. I love taking one pattern and changing it to suit my tastes for the season. changing the length or pattern of material makes two skirts of the same pattern look very different. Who doesn't want to get complements on their outfit only to reply that they made it themselves? I have decided to show you some of the other skirts I have made with this pattern. And believe me, these aren't all of the ones I have made throughout the years. The original tutorial can be found here.

 

 This is one of the last ones that I made. I love that floral pattern! Plus the color scheme matches green, black, gray, white, cream, and tan! This is my go-to year-round skirt.

 And this is the very first skirt I made with this pattern (well, really the first full sized skirt that I ever made. And the first project that I used a sewing pattern for). I have had it for many years. As you can see the zipper is a little wonky and the waistband is starting to fall apart, but I can't stop wearing it. : )  I just love the color and polka-dots are always a winner.
