1 Hour Wrap- Skirt
First of all, Kudos to all those of you that take pics of yourselves all the time. I enlisted the help of a not-so-enthusiastic teenager and this is the best shot of the skirt out of about the 50 we took (my eyes were closed so I just cropped out my head).
I never sew for myself. I figure it's like buying clothes, spending a few hours on them, and then trying them on and it never works out well for me.
I needed some skirts, patterns were $.99 and I have a ton of fabric, so I thought I'd give it another try. I figured if I hated it, I would just take in the seams and give it to my kid.
I used McCalls #5430 view A. The package says it is a "1 Hour skirt". If I didn't sew the waistband on upside down (ARGHH!)-it might have taken an hour. There are no zippers so I think this would be a good one to try if you're a beginner. I'm going to make another one, and I'll time myself and report back. I've got some linen, that I think would look pretty as a wrap skirt, but this time, I'm drawing arrows on all my pieces.

ReplyDeletethat is so cute! I did a mcalls 1 hour dress here: http://delilahthomas.blogspot.com/2011/05/one-hour-dress.html
ReplyDeleteAnd I timed it as well. I love your skirt...and I love when they only take 1 hour! Then it's worth the time and money! I think I'm going to get that pattern. thanks for sharing.
An entire dress in one hour-that's speedy.
DeleteVery cute skirt, love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat is super cute, I am learning how to sew and use patterns so I will have to try and find the pattern. So far I have only done a simple A-line skirt with elastic. Which I took some pictures its on my blog, www.newlifeovernight.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I should start sewing for myself too.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that skirt! I am a skirt girl all summer long but can't stand that you can pay $50 for a nicely fitted skirt. This is a beautiful flattering length and style. Thanks for sharing! I am new to sewing so this is the perfect start kit for me.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck-send me a picture if you make it.
DeleteYour skirt turned out SO well! It looks really comfy and flowy. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteAs long as there isn't a big wind-I'm good:)

This is so stinkin cute and I love the spring fabric!! THANKS for linking up!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty skirt, and in less than 1 hour, this is something right up my alley. Love the material you choose, Don't you just love when patterns go on sale for 99 cents, I usually buy 10 at a time. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have an entire stash of 99 patterns. It seems like in blogland people never use patterns-it is so much easier.
