Tiered Patchwork Gypsy Skirt!

This skirt came out pretty good. I had my doubts when I started making it. It's quilting cottons, velour, a ribbed velour stretch knit and some other kind of velourish type material, plus a black fabric with flocked paisley print. It was a bitch to hem and do the waistband. I had to re-sew it because it was so crooked the first time since the velour fabrics were stretching and sliding. It's really, really wide at the bottom. I basically went by the tiered skirt pattern I have. I just sewed the patches together and then cut the same length as the pattern strips.
