Okay, can you believe I finished sewing my skirt?
Am I on a roll now, or will I not make anything for another few months as a result of exhausting myself? The
fabric is from the Heather Ross “Lightning Bugs” collection. It has sailboats and people hanging out on the beach on it. The skirt is essentially a combination of patterns from some of my Japanese skirt books. I even lined the thing so I won’t have to worry too much if I wear hot pink underwear! Now I just need proper footwear and some shirts.
As for the freezer paper stenciling, you can find good info, as usual, on Amy’s post
here. There’s also a flickr group dedicated to freezer paper stencils
here. You can find freezer paper at your better-stocked grocery stores and fabric paint at your local craft store. I used cheap Tulip fabric paint from Michael’s.
Any chance you know what freezer paper is called in Japanese? Furizaa peipaa?
Oh, and cute skirt!!
dude, the skirt is awesome. your knees are the beach!!!
and i don’t know why you refuse to mention it – but FYI other readers: you can get freezer paper at all your good quilt stores!!
That is such a cute skirt! I love the fabric. I can help you with the shoes. You know me – can’t sew but am an expert shopper.
I was eyeing that fabric for a skirt myself some days ago. It looks great!
Great job on the skirt!
I also like the hedge-u-pine from your previous post.
Love that skirt! (and the hedgehog too)
That skirt is fabulous! Like something from Anthropologie or J. Crew’s online-only line, only better!
As for shoes… heh. The skirt is crying out for some cute Mary Janes, you know 🙂 I think a trip to Johnny Sole may be in order?
cute! love the pockets
Cute skirt! I love those pockets. 🙂
oh, i just love that fabric! i’ve seen it at one of the local fabric stores and wanted to buy some but never know how much i’ll need for any certain project 🙂
Another Super Eggplant winner. I think you will be on a roll now.
Wonderful skirt. I love it matched with that shirt. And the POCKETS! Get thee some flip flops and you’re all set for summer!
I bought the same fabric for a skirt as well! The beach boarder is begging to be made into a skirt. I also made cutains out of the material.
that turned out great! I love the pockets.
Your skirt is beautiful. Love the fabric, the pockets and buttons. Perfection!
