I have only made two so...I LOVE circle skirts, too! I have only made two so far, but have worn ones I've bought like crazy. I'm not sure why it took me so long to make my own, lol. The only fear I have with making a corduroy circle skirt is the fear that it will be too bulky or drape oddly, so, I'm actually leaning towards the skirt with the shaped pockets. Plus, I'm thinking it looks just like something Dale Evans would've worn, and I'm having fun dreaming up western inspired blouses to make to wear with it. But never fear, I will be making many more circle skirts. I want to eventually make a quilted one and next up I'm planning to make some for my daughter. She's asked for a yellow one with a rainbow and clouds on it. That's my girl <3<br />I will definitely let you know if I ever see one with Italian scenes. That's such a sweet and unique way to honor your husband and his heritage. I hope you find one, or at least material for one to be sewn :)<br />Oh, and I have a post scheduled for the second skirt, and it was totally inspired by you. I hope you like it!Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/18070656616946358428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628344483875854109.post-20833590557763858302013-10-09T15:56:11.226-07:002013-10-09T15:56:11.226-07:00Circle skirts, lots and lots and lots of marvelous...Circle skirts, lots and lots and lots of marvelous, girly, completely charming circle skirts. I've always adored them, but I've had a resuragance of interest in them this year spurred on by my hunt to find a 1950s novelty print or hand painted one depicting Italian scenes (of just about anything, so long as it's Italian in nature). My dear husband is a native son, and I think that wearing one would be such a terrific way to honour his culture, and one that I get the joy of being a part of by marriage. No dice yet (I've lost both of the auctions for the couple that I have seen to those with deeper pockets), but the hunt continues. <br /><br />I love circle skirts with all kinds of patterns though of course, that's just the one that I'm most on the prowl for at the moment, so these fun 50s style garments are what I'd be really tempted to keep making, too. <br /><br />Can't wait to see snaps of your second one!<br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
