A Coral Dirndl Skirt

So, this is technically one component of my Weekend Wardrobe pattern… but guess what?

The pattern pieces are all rectangles!

That\’s right, it\’s just a dirndl skirt. Easiest part of the Weekend Wardrobe? check.

it\’s all rectangles! *wink* (ft. unintentional awkward winking)

There\’s not much to say about this. It\’s a bright coral cotton sateen from G Street Fabrics. It\’s all rectangles. I basically ignored the instructions, so I\’m not even sure if my lapped zipper is what it\’s supposed to have or not. It has a waistband button. I hemmed it using the blind hem function on my machine. It\’s is a LOT of gathering! Ignore the wrinkles!

Making a dirndl skirt is soooo easy (as long as you know how to gather). I could make 100. Do you love the dirndl skirt? Do you love saying dirndl? dirndl dirndl dirndl dirndl

ps: I\’ve been making some blog design updates. I used Rachel\’s post on photography to figure out how to size my pictures properly, and then decided to update the whole thing. I feel a lot more motivated to post and to share my blog when I feel like it looks good, and I think it looks a lot better/more profesh. What do you think? Any suggestions?

pps: I also added a pin it button! It took me like an hour, and then my computer scientist fiance had to help fix it for like another hour, so you\’d better pin a lot of stuff. ahhhhhh html!!!
