Tutorial Tuesday :: Stripe Play Maxi Skirt by Pretty Ditty



I am still maxi skirt obsessed, are you? With fall temps a'coming it is time to dust off my collection of barley worn BOOTS (Southern California temps + working in a warehouse = rarely worn) and find some easy skirt styles to whip up for a wardrobe refresh.  This Stripe Play Maxi Skirt tutorial from Jamie Christina of Pretty Ditty blog, and Jamie Christina Sewing Patterns, caught my eye for a great maxi remake.  The use of stripes is flattering and inventive and gives a whole new fresh take on the maxi.  With a super easy pattern and instructions to follow you will be wearing your new wardrobe addition in no time!



Easy to follow pattern and instructions:

    
  

 Jamie recommends her Mission Maxi for a pattern to adapt if you don't have a skirt you can lay out to copy.  I have sewn up her Mission Maxi and it is awesome.  Generally 2-3 yards of fabric is required for a maxi.  A few of my picks from the store, stripes and patterns:

    

    




We hope you enjoy sewing up this lovely maxi.  Don't forget to send images of any project you make with Girl Charlee Fabrics to gcblog@girlcharlee.com and you might see your creation featured in our next KnitPicks!

Happy sewing!
