A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

The Circus Skirt

When I saw this fabric at the market, I FEEL IN LOVE! It reminded me of an old fashion circus. It was a total impulse buy, but I felt like I couldn't live without it! Wouldn't it make such a cute summer skirt?!


And so that's exactly what I did. I turned it into a skirt. The Circus Skirt to be exact : )


This was kind of an experiment, but it turned out pretty good : )

I shirred the top with my wonderful elastic thread. I learned later that I should have put the lines 1/2inch apart instead of 1/4inch, but it turned out ok.


I decided to leave the bottom unfinished. It already had this nice fuzzy edge, and I felt that it added to the character of the skirt.


I can't wait for it to get really warm!
