New Free Sewing Project - A Wrap Skirt made from two pillowslips
Oct 23, 2009 at 18:00
Finally! Our wrap skirt project instructions are up on-line!
This skirt is super easy as it is essentially a tube shape with ribbons and hammer-on snaps attached. Also because it's made of two pillowslips, a lot of the seams are already sewn for you. The sample skirt in the how-to's is sewn in contrasting colours, just so you can see how it works.
I've also managed to doctor all the How-tos in our Free Sewing Projects so that if you click on a picture, each can be viewed as a slide show with instructions. Not a grand accomplishment for some, but for a direct descendant of Ned Ludd like myself, I was well pleased...
Enjoy!

This is fantastic, I have two beautiful vintage pillowcases, I'll have to try it. Thanks so much.
You're welcome, Deb. I've made skirts out of recycled Country Road pillowcases and a vintage pair that were made in England. The fabrics feel really lovely to wear...
