Lazy Day Skirt

Here is proof that an adult can wear a lazy day skirt too :P I have made two skirts and I am loving them!! Also loving that they are so easy to make ;)I think somewhere along the way I have got the two patterns ( the lazy day skirt and the twirly skirt) sort of mixed up but I think they have still turned out well. I have added a drawstring into this one i just found that the elastic i had wasn't quite cutting it so I put the drawstring on the inside.



This one is based more on the twirly skirt but without the hem bit- what is the technical term?? lol. Any way i stuffed up the hem bit so i just cut it off and then sowed it without it. I have used ribbon for the drawstring on this one which i am loving too.

I prefer to wear them with more of the gather on the sides than the front- otherwise i feel a bit poofy or something :)
The only other thing that I would say about these skirts is that they are incredibly comfortable to wear ( I don't think I have worn anything as comfortable since I was little) and will be really nice and cool to wear in the summer time!

What lovely skirts. You have inspired me to make some for myself aswell. Fantastic job. I think the ribbon or contrast fabric part is called Trimming, but I could be wrong lol so don't take my word for it :) I may lead you up the garden path otherwise LOL.

Just spotted your skirt on Mel's blog, so glad you have made one for yourself. I thought of doing it but didn't know how it would suit an adult, it looks great i love it.
cheers
