As part of the Gypsy Road team challenge last month (Taking Care of Number One), I whipped up this little wraparound skirt for myself.

Here’s the view from the side of the pocket, which is a bit too big but I’m not going to take it off and redo it so there.

And the other side.  This wraparound style is based on a skirt that my mama brought home from China–it’s cut on the bias so it lays nicely and looks great even when you gain fourteen pounds in one month. My favorite part is the orange terrycloth bias edging…love that.

Here’s another one that I made for my friend Carrie last summer…can’t get the pics to post here but it’s worth the gander.

I’m working on a line of these for a spring debut in The Shop, some of which will feature some applique and patchwork ideas that have been buzzing around my mind lately.
