Yesterday someone asked where I got this skirt, and was surprised when I told her how easy it would be to make one herself. I've been making these for years - this one is at least 10 years old - and they really are simple to cut out and put together. (Instructions HERE.) The hardest part is finding really lightweight cotton (or linen or hemp) fabric! This one is a woven matmee pattern; in matmee the warp yarns of the fabric are tie-dyed before weaving, then offset a bit. That's what creates the light & dark blue chevrons and patterns you see in the photo. Every once in a while I find a cotton lawn I can afford; they make really breezy, long-wearing garments. Liberty of London prints are great! When it starts getting colder, these skirts are also great over tights, layered over another skirt or a petticoat. Check out the fabrics at your local sewing shops, whip up a new skirt or two, and enjoy this simple addition to your wardrobe!
