Lara's Crazy Skirt

Lara found a blog that she loves,  Cotton & curls

The blog features lots of refashioned items of attire, which appeals to her sensibilities.  We are planning on trying out more of the ideas found there.  


For this project, we actually started with a new piece of fabric, as Lara really wanted stripes.  Unfortunately, we couldn't find any striped fabric that she liked, and ended up with this crazy print.  I like it!

When we first put it together, we had a yellow zipper, but I thought navy would give it more punch.


Both Lara & I are thinking this would also be cute with a vintage zipper, one that has brass teeth and an interesting toggle, perhaps.  The project only takes 1 yard of fabric, if you can tolerate an asymmetrical seam down the back.
