I found the most awesome wrap skirt tutorial at Home Grown. Since I have so much of that flowered brown fabric, I thought I’d try it out. It was so incredibly easy, taking me less than 2 hours to whip up.
Alterations of my own: 1) For the hem width, I multiplied it by 50% instead of 40% which gave me a little bit more flare, 2) I rounded the front corner and 3) I lined it with a brown cotton fabric. I pinned back the corner, for the photo, so that the lining and rounded corner could be seen easier.
Adding the lining makes the whole skirt easier to make than actually hemming all around. Plus it is reversible that way.
I’ll be adding this tutorial to my list. It’s definitely a keeper.

Oh no! This is so cute, maybe even cuter than that denim one you posted a while back, that I planned on making with some leftover fabric that I still haven’t gotten around to… I’m the slacker it seems. Congrats on your new part-timedom.

Gorgeous skirt! I have been keeping up with all your projects even if I have not had time to comment. (We started homeschooling last month.) Congrats on your new house, looking forward to the progress photos on that!
Take care,
Sarah
