Bubble skirts are the newest addition to my list of favorite projects

I've quite enjoyed making bubble skirts lately, though that streak of "nothing turning out the way I want" hit here as well.

I was making a skirt for myself, but, well, it turned out too big. I guess I can chalk that up to trying new waistbands. Last bubble skirt, I tried wide elastic on it's own, this time I used spandex without any elastic at all. One of my friends was nice enough to model it for me since it fits her pretty well.

I really like this fabric, it's a lovely color and texture - a synthetic chiffon with some more opaque stripes woven in.

The inside of these skirts is starting to grow on me... I guess it's just a narrow skirt with a ruffle on the bottom, that's a bit "overstuffed" since there's so much extra fabric on the other layer.


I'll be selling this skirt at some point, since it doesn't fit me, and it's made pretty well.
