~I made this custom skirt a while back, but waited to share it till the owner could get it. I had a whole post in my head about finding inspiration in your forgotten surroundings, and how a fresh take on something can really bring to life a whole new vision. Then I got busy with some other things and now we are in the midst of a move so here is the abbreviated version.
~I made this skirt for someone who bought the nasturtiums skirt for her dear friend. She wanted something in that vein but different. I had recently pulled out this floral tea towel that I had stashed and was thinking of using in another apron project.
~I loved the panel with the balls of flowers in combination with the stark straight leaves. 
~The nasturtiums were all about the crazy foliage... I liked that these leaves here were so simple and straight changing the whole dynamic of the design.
~Well I loved the skirt so much I wanted to keep it but I did not. I am hoping to make myself a variation before summer.
~Oh well this post was a quickie I just wanted to say "HI" before we went offline for a few days. I will see you in a different place.

love this skirt!
I love this skirt!!! But I have a question, how do you get your skirts to look so flattering? I tried a skirt back in the Spring with an elastic waist and it just did not flatter my figure. Your skirts always look so slimming and flattering.
Love it! And I second what Angie said about the flattering. I have just about given up on sewing clothes.
the trick is that the when wearing the skirt the elastic will be stretched all the way...you need a tight squeeze over your rump then you know it will fit good. I use an A-line skirt that I alterd slightly (well I have made several variations now) but the first alteration was taking out the zippe and addind elastic, I love using the FOE at the waist and Amy Carol has a terrificly funny FOE tutorial on Angry Chicken.
That is SO cute! ^_^ Thanks for sharing!
Really cute! I'm inspired!
