I finished the last piece in my spring palette collection. This is the beignet skirt from colette patterns. I made the same skirt last year in red denim, my second version came along much smoother. I used a cotton poplin in a sunny yellow, and used a quilting cotton for the lining. The buttons are from m&j in nyc, and so cute, 12 buttons in all! This is the perfect piece fro spring and a classic skirt.
I really like the color, it is so fun! And the buttons down the front are lovely! Great skirt!
ReplyDeleteOh yellow! I am craving yellow! Each time I see that color on a blog, I just want it too...
ReplyDeleteYour Beignet is very nice and cute. That is such a flattering pattern!
I have to get this pattern and totally get over my fear of buttonholes!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely and I also had visions of it in a needlecord in a similar colour!
