Title: Skirt with poppy fabric
Post by: Silver Rose on May 31, 2020, 10:22:39 AM
I have cut out and tacked an eight panelled skirt using a lovely light and floaty lawn with a poppy print. An easy project after two pleated ones :) . Might do some sewing later but I am feeling rather lazy today.

I have a poppy skirt that i have had for a couple of years, and have been wearing it for the last couple of days but today HE said "why are the poppies on your skirt upside down?", and you know what he is right, why have i never spotted that before.
Can't wait to see yours

And that they look absolutely right to you as you look down on them whilst wearing the skirt.

@sewmuchmore , luckily my fabric has an all over design with  no obvious right way up but I had to have a closer look just in case.

All done apart from the hem, should have finished it 2 days ago but the CBA gremlin prevailed. It is too cold to wear such a light skirt, I'm back into jumpers for the week according to the forecast, only 13C today.
