A Beautiful Spring Skirt: The Belle Skirt from Wardrobe by Me
Spring. Warmth. Sunshine. Flowers. Are you awaiting the signs of spring as eagerly as I am? Like many other areas of the country, winter is refusing to leave this year. I've been waiting for a beautiful spring day to photograph my beautiful new Belle Skirt, but I may be waiting a long time! I want it to warm up so I can wear this lovely Belle Skirt from Wardrobe by Me, a new to me designer/pattern company. As soon as I finished sewing this lovely skirt, I had my hubby take a few pics. I may be smiling and wearing a sleeveless top but I was f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g! The temps were below freezing, the cold wind was blowing, and you can't see the snow around me as I'm standing on a patch of our sidewalk we had cleared. The fabric is a silky polyester from the $4/yard bin at my favorite local fabric store, SR Harris. It is lovely made up, but was a bugger to stitch together. It was so slippery and frayed terribly! But the colors are so vibrant! And the movement of this skirt
