I did sew this skirt for myself last week, using the Party Skirt Tutorial at Creative Spaces. The directions are very easy to follow, and the only changes I made were to sew two side seams and sew the sash into the waistband. It turned out really cute! I should sew for myself more often.

Ohhhhh, I like! Summer seems so far away now...
AMAZING! I love it! What type of fabric did you use?

Love the skirt...cute pattern and great color!
Love it & so flattering. Ugh. I need to learn to sew, there are so many incredible things out there.
Very nice! I love the colour too.
This skirt looks amazing on you!! i love the color and it just looks so girly and perfect!
it's lovely!
Looks great! I watched Downton Abbey too, it was pretty good!
I was going to ask you at church if you'd made that skirt! It look super cute and looks awesome on you too!!
Really cute! Love the waistband!
This is adorable!
Jill, I'm a longtime reader but don't think I've ever commented before. That skirt is absolutely PRECIOUS! I love the color. And the waistband. And the length. You know, just everything about it :)

Gorgeous skirt! I live in the UK and when Downton Abbey was repeated I sucked my husband into it just like your husband did to you. Can't wait for the new series!!
loved that movie! can't wait for the 2nd part to come out!
oh can you come up w/ some t-shirt re-fashions? like from the regular cheap t-shirts from the craft store? how about a skirt from a t=shirt?? would love to see what you make!

Very pretty! I love the bright color, especially in the winter! And Downton Abbey, I love love love it. Mary's clothes are so beautiful. I can't believe they left it hanging like that though...
This is really cute. Might have to try this.
I'm making a skirt that is very similar! It's even linen too. It was originally a sundress, but it wasn't working up top, so I cut it off. I'll be posting it on my blog when it is finished. Love the color of your's!
You SHOULD sew for yourself more often! :) Thanks for sharing! I may just need to start a skirt-sewing club. So many cute skirt ideas out there! (and btw, my friend and I modified your denim skirt-from-jeans project & they turned out great! keep the mommy projects coming!)
This is beautiful! I'd like to second the request for the fabric you used. What a lovely, juicy color!
Jill, this is so pretty and feminine. I can't imagine how wonderful to be able to sew yourself clothes! I am definitely not there yet, but someday, hopefully. :)

Another WONDERFUL idea! If only I had the patience and creativity that you do.
I gave you a Stylish Blogger Award since I love reading about all of your projects: http://enjoylifeandlove.blogspot.com/2011/02/stylish-blogger-award.html
Thanks for sharing!
Love the skirt! And who could blame you for being sucked into Downton Abbey - Masterpiece Classic is the best :)
I love it! so simply beautifuL!

LOVE Downton Abbey! Oh that Thomas!
отличная юбка, люблю такую форму)))
Oh this is cute! You rock it! Often this style doesn't do much for the figure but this pattern looks like it is a lot more flattering! The sash and bow are a perfect addition.
Love it! I'm going to make one for myself this week. First time ever sewing for myself or really a piece of clothing for that matter. Hope it turns out well. I would also like to know what fabric you used. Do share.
Such a cute skirt. What size zipper did you use? I couldn't find it on the original post.
Thanks
To be honest, I just grabbed a zipper from my stash - I have no idea how long it was. Maybe 10 inches?
Okay, thanks!
