Wrap Skirt for ME!!

Yes, I finally got round to sewing something new for me - a wrap skirt.

Plus, it was my first ever time using a 'proper' pattern!

I added the contrast waistband, trim, and buttons...they weren't on the pattern, but I thought they'd look cool, so I went for it.

The contrast fabric is the Amy Butler Soul Blossoms 'Disco Flower' that I bought last week.

at some point I might even get a photo of me wearing it.....lol!

Thanks for looking

So excited!

I actually ordered some fabric yesterday to make something for me!!

Yes...a PROPER order...of NEW FABRIC!

Not something that used to be something else...

CUTE

NEW

PRISTINE

GORGEOUS

FABRIC

!!!

I can't wait for it to get here....can you tell? lol!

The fabric is

Soul Blossom - Disco Flower in chocolate by Amy Butler...I am seriously in lust love with her fabric! 

Would you like to see what I intend to make with it? 

It's a skirt very similar to this one..

I'm using a brown fabric for the main skirt, and then the Amy Butler for the lining (the yellow on the picture in the link) - I think it will look fantastic...but wish me luck as I'm *shock horror* using a pattern!

It's an a-line wrap skirt pattern and I'm going to add the buttons and folds myself.

Can't wait til it gets here.......squeeeee!!!!!

I ordered it from Sew Me Happy - a great shop who were so friendly and helpful - and best of all, they're UK based so I don't have to wait aaaaaages for delivery! Yippee!! I can't wait to shop with them again, you should check them out!

Thanks for looking!
