Fields:: A Skirt

When my middle daughter was little she used to mispronounce the word, remember, as mender. I loved it for all the reasons a parent finds their child's quirky takes on things endearing. I still occasionally turn to her and ask, "Mender when...?"
Well, in that spirit, mender when I said I was going to make a skirt just like these, but in my own fabrics?
You mender that? Well, I did, kinda, sorta.

As promised, I did make the skirt using the same pattern with the same modifications and the skirt is made out of my fabric. But, not in my a stitch in color fabric. Rather I used some of my hand dyed and patterned fabric in a new print, Fields. I haven't decided if I'm going to reproduce it in my usual palette or even if I want to add this pattern to my store. I was just playing and making fabric with really no endpoint in mind.

Initially, I thought I'd use the fabric to make a bag, but then I mendered my promise to make a skirt out of my own fabric and a project was born.

In the end I did include a little bit of fabric from my a stitch in color collection. I made the waistband facing in the Pebbles fabric in yellow and orange. No one will see that cute, little addition, but I'll stop every once in a while and mender it's there.
