Paisley Skirt

With the hot weather that's been on around here lately (I'm from Portugal), I'm starting to feel like wearing softer clothes. For that, there's nothing better than skirts! Even though, in the last years, I haven't worn them much (while, when I was little, they were my favorites), this Summer I think they'll be my clothing of choice. To start, I've asked my mother to complete an idea I already had in mind for a long time: to make a skirt with one of the many vintage traditional fabrics we own. This was the result:








It's a very simple and comfortable skirt, also easy to make! I liked the result and already asked my mother to make me some more (by watching, I'll end up learning how to make them as well) :-) For that, I've ordered these beautiful fabrics from Rosa Pomar's Retrosaria:





As soon as they arrive, we'll start working in them, in order to make this Summer more colorful, fresher and original!
