So it is not a sunny day in San Diego today. It has been raining off and on for most of the day. Toni Tone Tony - what was your song saying years ago? Ahem. Back to the topic at hand. I made this skirt over the weekend. It is VERY easy and GORGEOUS! I am going to make the other two versions as well. I used a tropical jacquard print that I purchased at Yardage Town. I put piping at the bottom of the waistband like the pattern suggested, also. Excuse the wrinkling, since this was after a full day at work.
Interesting story: I bought the same fabric at Fabric.com a few years back, but couldn't get my FBA to work for the Burda dress I wanted. I put it aside and have no idea where I put it. I really loved the material, so I'm glad Yardage Town has it years later.
I'm wearing this one with my New Look 6807 top that I made a couple year's ago. I guess with all of the dreary weather, I decided to be a bright one today.
Up soon, a Butterick top that I've sewn before, but not this version.

Cute skirt out of a great piece of fabric!
I love your color combo. That skirt is pretty. the piping is a nice touch. Did you buy or make the piping? I've never done any piping (there's a joke somewhere in this sentence).
Great looking outfit. I can see why you like the skirt fabric so much, very pretty.
Fabbo skirt and I do like the way you styled it with other brights.
It may be raining but you look like a sunny day! I like the colour combo. Your skirt is cute.
Cute skirt! I love the colorful look. I wish I could pull it off like you do.
Everything blends well!
And yet, you look bright and sunny, regardless of the weather! Cute outfit.

Cute skirt! I love your outfit colors---so sunny and bright!
Very cute skirt and your clor combos are so refreshing! I love that piping and recently found a new and clever notion for piping. I will be posting on my blog as a blogoversary give-away.
Susan, I see why you love this skirt! You are sooooo right about bringing the "sunshine" out with this GORGEOUS outfit!! I really love your yellow cardigan too! You didn't make that too, did you?
Also, thanks for stopping by with you nice comments, good luck on your tunic!

Great looking skirt. I'm partial to piping too. It's a nice detail element on this cute skirt.
