I'm sewing again. Time to get those Easter outfits done. First up is an Ottobre skirt for Allison - four layers of skirt, no less:
The pink fabric came from Germany, part of a group buy awhile back and it's the same fabric used in Ottobre. It's lightweight, but with a bit of sturdiness, sort of like a lightweight seersucker. Really perfect for this pattern.
Next I'll add the underskirt and its ruffles. I'm using a simple cotton-poly batiste; the pink fabric doesn't seem to wrinkle much, so why not make at least one easy-care outfit? Or, I could use this pink smocking stripe (also cotton-poly) for the upper ruffle:
Or, I could just use the pink stripe as a trim on the ruffle - maybe my favorite version?:
Or, I could pick up the blues instead with some microcheck gingham:
So which would you choose?
