I have to admit that I once used this beautiful fabric as a tablecloth for a dinner. Luckily nobody spilled wine or anything on it, but even if that happened, I could probably pretend that the stains were part of the painted design. For that, this was the perfect fabric for a tablecloth.
However, I wanted it to be a skirt.
Fabric: Hand-painted canvas-ish cotton purchased from Emma One Sock
Lining: Polyester or acetate lining fabric purchased from Fabric Mart
Pattern: Skirt from my TNT dress (modified Vogue 8555 - out of print) plus belt from Vogue 1247
Cardigan: Elie Tahari
To support the hemline, I first thought of applying fusible interfacing. However, when I opened up my interfacing bag, I discovered few other choices: silk organza, netting, and a bias strip of hair canvas. I grabbed the hair canvas simply because it was ready to use.
I was happy to see that the hem interfacing made a difference in the overall silhouette of the skirt.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!
Very pretty! Merry Christmas.
