this little piece is in honor of my grandma. you could never make a tuna sandwich taste quite right, but you had every i love lucy episode memorized front-to-back and were always down for a mean game of rummikub. so here's to you.
pleated wrap skirt
- [about] made from a grey cotton fabric with subtle pin striping. 3 pleats in middle front with deep side pockets. high waist with extra long wrap ties. sloped side seams so it would take on the subtle form of a pencil skirt from the side view. hem line (should) fall just below knee. i'm taller than i think i am.

Gorgeous skirt! I love pockets.
This is the skirt I am dreaming of making. Now I just need to get over fear of making clothes. Do you come up with a pattern yourself or do you buy them?
thanks!
this is my own pattern. it's basically three rectangles cut on the fold and then an extra long (extra wide) binding for the ties.
this is so crazy! i am in the process of making a similar skirt right now. i just clicked over to your blog for a break. yours is awesome! mine's a bit different, but the shape is somewhat similar. how weird is that? i love what you did.
Do you sell your patterns? I love the tent dress.
jenny...that is crazy. (it seems like inspiration usually hits multiple people at once.) i'm so excited to see what yours looks like!
amber...i would LOVE to be able to yes to that question some day. but, no. not yet. ;)
I'd be happy to be your first customer. That dress is adorable and I know at least 10 little girls that need one in this already unbearably hot summer! You are very talented.
love this skirt!!! so wearable! I can imagine wearing it around all day and night.
very cute. would love one of these. are you going to start selling this?
whitney...i am! i'm just shopping around for the right fabric, that i can buy in bulk.
