Today's post is about a total basic, the circle skirt. However, this one has been made super fabulous by the awesome fabric, which is so summery! Plus I had a great backdrop and wonderful photographer taking these photos so it all worked out pretty perfectly.
This is the Megan Neilsen Veronika skirt pattern which I've used once before for my pleather skirt which is still a big winner in my wardrobe.
The fabric is a gorgeous stretch cotton with tulip print that I bought on Goldhawk road. They had 5m left in the shop and my cousin and I split it. I think we both may have made the same skirt so we'll have to be careful not to wear it at the same time as I'm not a fan of the whole matching outfit thing, to be honest I don't reckon she is either so at least we'll be on the same page.
Aside from hemming the skirt, which was as lengthy as circle skirts always are (also despite the above photo which makes the whole thing look lopsided, it is straight). The whole thing came together quickly, its really just a few seams and an invisible zip.
I love this skirt and this was the perfect backdrop as I also love London, even with construction stuff going on, which is lucky as it's also a feature of the London skyline!
These were taken by my lovely friend Dominika (thanks Dominika). Fingers crossed for more lovely evenings like this with lovely clothes, lovely friends, lovely weather and lovely settings (and if my mother ever reads this sentence with this many lovely's in it, her head will explode!)
I'm entering this as one of the makes in Allie's Social Sew, this month's theme is 'hot, hot heat', come sew with us. Happy summer all!
