I’m throwing back to a skirt pattern I haven’t used in years. I’ve been channelling the 70’s lately I’m sure because I was inspired by ThatBlackChic’s 70’s projects last month. As I was going through my pattern stash, this wrap skirt looked perfect. It’s McCalls 5430 and I made it about 5 years ago and happily it’s still in their current catalog.
Most of my projects start with fabric as inspiration and this one is no different. This print is a classic Kaffe Fasset print and every time I walk by it at Fabricland, it calls my name. There are so many amazing quilting fabrics out there but sometimes I find it’s tricky to use them in clothing. Summer skirts, however, seem to be a great place to get them into my wardrobe.
I was about half way through making the skirt when I realized in order for the print to work it needed a trim. The fabric has yellow, orange, pumpkin and green and I purchased this pretty yellow linen to add 1/2” trim on the waist and side. I did some unsewing but it was well worth it.
On a side note, a couple of summers ago my family and I drove through Big Sur. As I was making this, I remembered something from the trip. It was way passed lunch time and we were looking for a place to get something to eat before everyone got crabby. The first restaurant we came to was Nepanthe. It looked like Shangri-la.
It’s set high on a cliff overlooking the water with beautiful umbrellas. As I was eating I saw what looked like Kaffe Fasset paintings on the walls. I took a closer look and found the restaurant was started by his family. How did I not know this? It was serendipitous!
Have you been there?
Are you summer sewing?

Love your skirt & cool connection to Kaffe ! I too love quilting fabrics & have had mixed results with using them in clothing . Just when I thought I'd given up on them, I see your beautiful skirt - hmm
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have an aline skirt TNT pattern that works well with quilting cottons too. Maybe it's time for a skirt for you!
DeleteThis is a lovely bright skirt - perfect for the summer. I have made a wrap skirt too but its by Diana Rupp.
