Chevron High Waisted Skirt

A few months ago (ahem, one year to be exact), I pinned a high waisted skirt tutorial on Pinterest.  I was so excited I bought the fabric within a few days and the zipper just after.

Doesn't the skirt look adorable?!?


And then life got a little crazy as our family faced an adventure or two last year.  I refocused my energy on quilting until yesterday.

This week required more time commuting as a project was out of town.  This commute ate all of my sewing and quilting time, not to mention my energy.  I was in need of a quick and easy project and behold, the skirt!


I used Riley Blake's chevron print fabric in grey and the tutorial from The Big Oak Tree found here.

I highly recommend this tutorial!  For a person whose sewing skills can be limited to straight-line quilting, I was hesitant to try a skirt.  This tutorial featured a lot of straight lines.  The only difficult part, was the zipper, but I muscled my way through.



I am very happy with the results!  And I have never gotten more compliments on a skirt, ever.


Happy Pinning!
Kate
