Skirting the price

Tonight at my dressmaking class I am starting my tunic,but I have my next project all lined up. 

 

Inspired by these Anthropologie skirts ($US81 and $US117)


and using this quilting fabric ($AU12.95)


I'm going to make this skirt ( New Look #6872) for a total cost of $AU17.70 (plus, lots of frustration, unpicking and tantrums!). Wish me luck!

Wow that red skirt (middle right) looks just like the Anthro one! Can't wait to see what you create.

Looking forward to seeing your completed skirt. Love that pattern. I bought a new pattern this week too, but a little way from pulling the machine out and getting it done I am afraid. We should have a skir-a-thon. lol. Your little house brooch has been greatly admired at school today. Happy sewing to you.
