A winter skirt
I bought some fine-wale, golden tan corduroy at Jo-Ann's last Saturday and turned it into this tiered skirt, using McCall's 5109. The third tier has an attached faux-petticoat made from muslin and eyelet lace. I'm not sure I like how it turned out -- not my style -- so I think I'll try to sell it.

I think it turned out very cute! I'm sure it'll be snapped up quickly!
Oh I love it! I'm going to have to get that pattern!
Oh, and if you ever decide to sell that pattern, I'll be your buyer. ::wink::
Very cute! I love the lace edge!
Thanks ya'll! After mulling it over for a couple of days, I'm waffling... maybe I'll keep it after all. :) And Cheri, I didn't realize when I recommended the pattern to you that it was out-of-print! I'll let you know if I decide to sell it, or perhaps you can find an inexpensive copy on eBay since it's a recent pattern. :)
I love how it turned out. Is it the pattern or the skirt itself you were considering selling??
Lynn, it was the skirt itself I was thinking about selling, though now that I've pondered it a bit I think I'll just try fixing what I didn't like. The corduroy is a little stiff, which made the skirt stand out as if I was wearing a real petticoat or crinoline underneath. I think if I take some of the fullness out of the tiers, it will look more like I'd originally envisioned.
so beautiful! I'm mentally preparing to make a similar one to accommodate my growing belly.
