A while back I gave in to my urge to sew and decided to whip up a wrap skirt. I used a combination of tutorials I found around the internet to draft a simple pattern and some fabric I had bought a while back.

I’m pretty happy with it–there’s a bit on the waistband I’m not wild about, but I think it can be fixed. It feels weird to have a waist band with the tie threaded through it; there’s a bulky bit where it wraps. I’m not entirely sure how to fix that. One thought I had was to create a tie by attaching ribbon or fabric the same way one would do a quilt binding, over the top edge rather then creating a channel to thread the tie through, and then creating a buttonhole or a grommet to thread it through.

That seems to make the most sense, but it also seems like it would be complicated. Oh well, I can worry about it if I make another. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. It’s a nice, summery skirt.

Now, if only we’d have one of our rare summer days, so I can wear it!
