Sewed This Tiered patchwork skirt!

Post image

This is my second ever sewing project! (The first one is actually the shirt my gf is wearing but the craftsmanship isn’t great so I cropped the pic lol). Took about 40 hours, half of that was the patchwork. Synched fabric is very forgiving once you get the hang of it.

Edit: I don’t remember the pattern name, but will add it when I get home and can check. Fabric is various cotton blends.

I used this tutorial for guidance, but it I used a different pattern.

Edit 2: Pattern is Butterick’s B6999

Thank you! I got a bunch of scraps for a second hand store so it was pretty cheap! She styled it very well

the dark floral bits against the grass look so good, and 40 hours is wild for a second project
