Betty & the 'Yard Sale Skirt'

I have finally made something from the gorgeous book by Heather Ross 'Weekend Sewing'! I bought this book back in 2009 but have just never found fabric that I was in love with to make one of her numerous patterns. Until...one night on the Internet I happened upon (ok, someone else had a link) Equilter. This is a great website with loads and loads of fabrics. And again with the USD and AUD being nearly even, it makes shopping from the US all the more affordable.

I just love this fabric. Its called 'LoveBirds Sweethearts' by Michael Miller Fabrics. When I saw it I knew straight away that it would work for this skirt. The skirt is sewn in six panels and with the waistband and ties makes a lovely wrap-around-skirt. I must admit to being a bit dubious on the complete outcome as I don't usually have great luck with wrap-around clothes - well as it turns out maybe just mass produced ones. 'Cause this one I very much adore!
(And possibly so does Betty).
