I had some pink pique cotton left over from a jacket I made. Announcement at work: wear pink on Friday in support of breast cancer awareness! What if I made a skirt to go with my pink pique jacket? I could go decked out in pink—and decked out in things I made.
So I had about 3 days. How hard could a simple circle skirt be? Darn, not enough fabric. So I cut two rectangular bands, one longer and wider than the other, and serged them together, gathering the longer band to the shorter one. Then I folded over the top to create a casing and added elastic--1" I believe.
So simple, and sometimes simple is too simple. I haven't ever worn this skirt in public, and certainly not to work, thank goodness. It doesn't seem so horrible in the pictures but I put it on and it seems too poofy. It's comfy. Maybe I'll try to wear it this summer.
