This maxi wrap skirt has got to be one of the quickest sewing projects I've ever finished! I bought this fabric at my friend, Roxanne's, garage sale about a month ago and set it aside knowing someday it'd be put to good use. After seeing so many beautiful maxi skirts on fashion blogs and Pinterest I decided I needed to make one myself. In fact, if my sewing machine gets fixed soon I'll happily share a tutorial to make your own. In the meantime you can find one here, here, and in our Home Ec e-course.
It's light and flowy and easy to wear. It takes a lot of fabric but would work well in a solid (cheaper). I'm thinking a linen-like fabric or even a light denim should be next on my list.
Outfit Details: T-shirt, Target. Maxi skirt, handmade from vintage fabric. Gypsy platforms c/o Blowfish. Sand Timer Necklace c/o Unexpected Expectancy. Leather bag, thrifted. Vintage glasses, thrifted.
I love the extra inches these Gypsy platforms give me. At 5' 4" (barely), I need all the boost I can get when going with a maxi. They're also the most comfortable pair of shoes I currently own!
This skirt makes the fifth article of handmade clothing I've added to my wardrobe this year including the two tops I made last week. I'm hooked!
What summer trend would you make yourself if you could?
