Black tulle


 Jay wears black. A lot. In fact, it's pretty much all she wears. So when she requested a skirt, the colour scheme was easy to choose.


I used a simple circle skirt design with no waistband. 


 The lining is the facing and, for extra swooshiness, a layer of tulle is stitched to the lower edge of the lining.

 




 
 
This is our new courtyard too... the house move is DONE and we're pretty settled in. This means more sewing posts are coming!

    She looks so cool, especially in those boots. This skirt is awesome, I really need to learn to sew...

    I'm glad you've gotten into a new home!

    I love skirts with tulle looking out from under the skirts. That's really pretty!

    Slick! Love the tulle touch! I am hankering for a bit of black lately....sometimes I just need a bit of darkness, I suppose!

    Very cool (and stylish!) creation. The swish of tulle is unexpected and very feminine, but with a dark, mysterious side as well, thanks to the midnight hue. Awesome sewing and styling job, dear gals!

    I love a new location but hate the packing and unpacking!
