I’m not sure if I’ve told you all this, but I am VERY indecisive. Mike and I are moving to a new apartment in a few months, and I think it is the perfect time to re-vamp some of our decor. I boought these (here and here) Amy Butler fabrics with a mind to re-cover some pillows, but the longer I waited, the more I thought maybe I would like to go in a different direction (and, no lie, as soon as I decide on the “new direction” I will change my mind once again).
I was left with two beautiful fabrics with nothing to use them for. They have been sitting in my fabric drawer for almost two months, teasing me, and tempting me to find a purpose for them.
I stumbled upon a free skirt pattern at Burda Style that caught my eye. It is simple yet stylish and seemed very easy and quick to put together. Mike chose which of the two fabrics to use. Now…to find the perfect project for the other fabric…
I also realized that I haven’t updated the state of my garden…so here are a couple of pictures! In the picture below there is a pot of loose leaf lettuce on the left and two dwarf pea plants on the right. The peas are doing extremely well!
And in this picture I have a row of radishes and a row of green onions.
I plan to transplant the other seedlings this weekend. I have been hardening them off, and I think they will be ready for their new home soon! Do you have a garden?? How is it coming?
Hi Kate, your skirt is fabulous! Thanks so much for the link. I have been looking for this exact skirt pattern for weeks now. I think they call it a “Tulip” skirt. It look stunning in Amy Butler fabrics. Maybe I should re-look at the Amy Butler fabrics I had earmarked for some throw cushions….
I forgot to mention, have a look at my blog. I posted a link to 6 FREE full-size patterns from Interweave’s Stitch magazine. There are 4 dresses, one wrap skirt and a cute bag. I have made the Mix & Match dress twice already and it’s great!
The skirt turned out fabulous!
I love your blog, come by mine…we have a special award for you :)
beautiful!
