flower patchwork skirt
This project was inspired by a green and black skirt worn by olivia dean as part of my closet copycat tiktok series. I used an old shirt for the petal detailing and a fun decorative stitch in a contrasting red colour which I think worked really well!

Cotton Poplin from (you guessed it) The Fabric Store

Buttons, Interfacing
Pattern Details
This piece is half self drafted/modified but inspired by the waistband from copenhagen skirt from puff and pencil. I used and altered the waistband from this pattern to be low waisted and replaced the ties with buttons.
Construction Process
I have a tutorial on my tiktok on how I added the flower petal detailing/applique so go check that out if you are interested!
Techniques and Skills
Learnt applique! oh and also had my first attempt ad altering/self drafting a pattern and I've discovered that I thoroughly enjoy doing so rather than sticking to a bought pattern, which means I might have to invest some time in learning how to digitise patterns :))
Outcome and Evaluation
I am so in love with this skirt and have worn it so many times since - If I were to make it again I would definitely try different colour combos and maybe even replace the buttons with a zipper
