I just want to show off two more skirts, and then I'll move on to other subjects...





When I'm choosing fabric for a skirt, it has to be fabric that makes me say, "oooooh, I want that!" It can be hard to find two fabrics that both meet that requirement and look good together. Here are two examples where I bought the first fabric (the big blue peacock feathers in one skirt and the tiny magenta peacock feathers in the other) and then searched through many, many options before finding a match that I loved. (In case it isn't clear, this search is a task I love to do.) Choosing the color of grosgrain ribbon to cover the diagonal seam is a similar challenge on a smaller scale.

I LOVE the blue one. Do you make them in sizes a woman of my size could wear?

They're modular, so yes! I've made skirts with seven, eight, and nine wedge panels, and could do more. I've also developed patterns of different lengths -- the red and turquoise skirt I posted yesterday was a petite, these are the original length, and I have a longer version too.
