I found this beautiful embroidered voile on Fabric Mart and just had to have it for a long, flowing skirt.
The picture doesn't really do the fabric justice. It's white, pink and peach, with tan embroidery. Just lovely stuff. Here it is in a blue colorway.
I used Butterick 4811 now Out Of Print.
I used a size 22 and moved the back zipper to the side so accommodate my fabric limitations. I also trimmed 4 inches from the hem; partly because it was too long, and partly because I didn't have enough fabric.
The voile stitched like a dream. I used a plain white voile for a lining; the embroidered stuff is very sheer. I love wearing this during our warmer days and it was an easy sew.
I love your skirt and the pattern you used. I think I nave the pattern in stash.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful fabric and skirt . I have a couple of skirts made from embroidered fabric - they always seem a bit more special.
