Ooh I feel all aglow seeing such a beautiful collection of Picnic Blanket Skirts made by my dear readers! (More here.) The skirt works so well in all these fabrics - ginghams, striped shirting, plain cotton and florals. I wear mine all the time - it's one of those garments I miss when it's in the laundry basket. I'm currently dreaming of making a bright red linen version which I'm looking forward to wearing with black patterned tights in the Autumn.
If you want to make your own, take a look at the free tutorial series. How would you translate the Picnic Blanket Skirt into an Autumn piece?
PS. The awesome Joanne from Stitch and Witter (and she really is awesome - I've had the pleasure of meeting her IRL, y'all) interviewed moi for her brilliant new series on sewing style - check it out!

Well done everyone! All the skirts look great! Sam xox
ReplyDeleteAll the skirts look gorgeous! I'd love to make one myself not sure it would suit my massive hips :-)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried wearing a similarly shaped skirt? My hips are relatively big for my frame and I love this skirt as the full shape shows them off.
DeleteLovely, lovely skirts!!!

Hello! I've been reading your blog for sometime now and I must say that both you and Megan Nielsen inspired me to properly learn to sew, because you are so positive and encouraging and make it sound so easy and fun. Monday will be my third sewing class and I will be finishing my first skirt, a polka dot print gathered skirt! These will be a great source of inspiration for my next project. I don't see myself stopping. Keep up the good work and the best wishes xx
ReplyDeleteOh Fatima, I'm so happy to hear that! I really make an effort to encourage people so I'm glad it's working :)
DeleteThese skirts all look fantastic! I've updated my blog with my version, hope you like it!

These skirts seem universally cute on every body frame. I'll be making myself one very soon! So easy. Love it.
