Fastest Skirts in the West!

So fast, in fact, that I made two!

The pink flame skirt is a commission from Pink Weasel, and the skull one is for me.

The pattern is a really simple a-line skirt. The waist is drafted slightly larger than the hip measurement (so you can get it on and off!), and then gathered in again by the wide elastic at the top. This gives a lovely full swingy skirt, without having acres of excess fabric all bunched up around the middle.

Both skirts are just waiting to be edged with black cotton broderie anglais lace. This should balance out the waistband at the top, and add that extra little bit of girliness!

Now to investigate how many colours I can get hold of in the bomber jacket elastic, and then I can make some more...
