I made my first 12 yard skirt!!! Actually it’s more than 12 yards because I went a little pleat happy and ran out of fabric so I ended up using 2 bed skirts to finish the bottom! 😂😂😂
It was a LOT of sewing and took several days but I’m happy with the result.
I’m going to add a drawstring as well as the elastic waist because it’s quite heavy with all the fabric.

I made an extra long cowl neck tunic in black, this one fits over my b***y much better than the rose one I posted yesterday!
The rose one is up for grabs if anyone wants it 😊
My torso from top of shoulder to bottom of b***y is 28” and hips are 41” (the rose top would fit better on someone with shorter torso and similar hips).
