Patchwork skirt in earth patterns part 2


 Really, really hope I pinned this right. It's three layers - the flannel underskirt, patchwork overskirt, and yoke of the waistband.

And of course I DIDN'T pin it right, b/c the flannel ended up wrong side out. Well, I'm not undoing it now, especially since I double-stitched the waistband! 




Really doesn't look that bad - only the bottom edge will occasionally show anyways.

I still have all the leftover pieces - have to decide if I have enough for another skirt.

Patchwork skirt in earth patterns part 1

I've been planning this for a long time. I had lots of strips tidied away for.... several years. The plan is to sew them together, then cut the skirt pieces, then cut a second set of skirt pieces in red flannel, then sew them all together into a layered winter skirt. I cut the pattern to a mid-length - same length as the corduroy skirt I made. For the patchwork pieces I extended the pattern 2 inches on each side, so it will be looser over the flannel.
