Circle Skirts - Lutterloh 300-104, 300-89
Corrie's Eva wearing a fabulous full skirt I love Coronation Street and have watched it forever. Aside from the story lines (which drive me crazy sometimes) I love seeing what folks are wearing. They have a few characters wearing some really nice things lately. The other day I saw Eva wearing this box pleated full skirt and fell in love. I bought a gorgeous piece of cotton sateen in a hibiscus print. I thought Lutterloh's 300-104 (on the left) would fit the bill and set to drawing it out. I washed and ironed my fabric and laid it out on the floor to accomodate the wide pattern. And then realized my 56" wide fabric was a tad too narrow. I thought ok, no problem, I'll just pinch out the middle of the pattern to make it less of an arc. Well I would almost cut that piece of fabric in half before I would be able to get it all on the fabric. Time for a plan "B". Not to be deterred I thought maybe instead of a circle...
