Barcelona Skirt
I finally had time to make a Barcelona skirt—I love it. I made it in Amy’s Lacework print in olive, and since I like my skirts on the long side, I added another tier to the bottom in Seeds print, also in Olive. I could wear this skirt everyday. And of course, like many of you, I made it just a little too big, (my fat brain cells, I guess). I didn’t launder the fabric first, so I thought it would shrink just right, wrong, and I should have known better. This fabric is such nice quality it didn’t shrink, so I just may take it in a smidge. It sits a little lower than my waist, which is good–(no muffin top!!!) I’m planning on making another using Coriander print in pine–and I know I will love it just a much!! The one thing I really really like, is the muslin lining. It’s just the right weight for a summer skirt, and cotton, so it’s cool even in the hot Cleveland summer weather! Oh and don’t forget, Amy will be visiting Stitch Cleveland on August 15th, so mark your calendars ’cause you don’t want to miss this booksigning. She will be signing her new book, Little Stitches for Little Ones-we will have copies in the store shortly, so stop in to reserve your copy. BTW more Amy Butler fabric is on it’s way as we speak!
