Thought I’d make a skirt (when I should have been making a tea towel) . Fortunately, me good ol’ hubby made dinner so I could finish up both. Two things in one day! I feel so accomplished.
The skirt was pretty easy. Two rectangles tapered slighty at the waist, draw-string, pintucks and ruffled hem. You can see how I did the pintucks HERE. It’s made out of denim, still a little stiff, will be nice and soft after a few wears and washings. I love this skirt! It’s comfortable yet durable and goes with any top.

This is for Crafty Daisies Tea Towel Swap. Another ruffle hem, strawberry fabric, ric-rac and embroidery. I couldn’t find any tea towels worth decorating, so I bought a yard of soft, thick cotton fabric, and cut it to the size of a hand towel.
If you’re in the swapping mood (I am apparently), then check out Dawn’s Fabric Charm Swap (please see Moki’s link). Looks fun!
What an adorable skirt pattern!
WOW! Both projects are beautiful. I could live in denim skirts:) The pin tucks are very cool.
What a great skirt! It really looks like it will be great with anything! Two projects in one day is pretty good:) Lucky you!
Very nice! I love pin tucks, but haven’t attempted any yet. The combo of pin tucks with a ruffled hem is brilliant!!
I love the pintucks! I’ve been itching and itching to sit down and sew som skirts; it seems I go shopping for fabric a LOT more often than I sew. Thanks for the inspiration and tip.
Love the detail of the hem. I was just thinking I need to make some summer skirts.
Ditto to everything already said — and I know you wrote that it was easy, but it looks like a work of art to me!
Hi Regina, thank you so much for the tea towel. I love it. Now I just have to wrestle it away from my daughter who decided it would be perfect for her kitchen. argh. Great blog.

That skirt is so darn cute! Regina, you always amaze me with your creativeness.
