Or…as I’ll probably be referring to it as, the Jay Ward skirt
(since it reminds of the cartoon clouds when someone crashes into something).
First off let me say, I love, love, LOVE this
print! As far as I'm concerned I couldn't have found a more perfect 50's style
fabric and while it's definitely thinner than the fabric I usually buy,
I love that I'll be able to wear it in the warmer months and the cooler
months with layering. And just as good, it happened to be a perfect match for a blouse that I thrifted awhile back!
That being said, this
is the same circle skirt pattern as the outfit I shared last month (no problems
making this one!).
I decided to use the scalloped waist I had drafted for my cherry skirt. I think this waist style is actually
better if it’s in a solid color or a print that is not quite as busy, but as I
didn’t have an issues when putting this skirt together and it fits well, I have
no complaints about it.

When I found this fabric I noticed that there were two other fabrics that went with it, so one I bought a couple yards to quite possibly to make a dress, and I bought a yard of the other to make a bag. While I'm still contemplating the dress idea, the bag I went to work on right away. I used it the day I wore the skirt, but it isn't quite finished yet as I still want to add
a flap (envelop style) and after using it for a day I know that I really need to do this
if I don’t want to sides pulling open too much. Hopefully, I’ll be doing a post
to show you the finished bag in the near future and explain all the details!

That is a beautiful print, Inky!! I love all your creations. And the bag looks cute with your outfit as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's so rare for me to find matching fabric sets that I actually like (usually I find some cute simple pattern print, like polka-dots, that goes with something awful), so I was really excited to find three that went together. I can't wait to share the third one too!
DeleteThat print is absolutely fantastic! It's as mid-century as can be and even reminds me quite a bit of the fun background design that you're currently using here on your blog. Fabulous creation - circle skirts look so great on you, honey!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday wishes,

The more I look at it, the more I think it's probably my favorite print that actually carries the look of a specific time period (plus my love of atomic stars has really taken off over the past year). Thank you!
