FO - 'The grass is greener' skirt

Hiiiiii

So my friends, I only did what I promised (for a change) and snapped some pix of some makes :-)

This skirt has been made now for a fair while to be honest, and it is on constant rotation in my wardrobe. It was made with the Frankenstein skirt ('s a'plenty) pattern (I have moved on from that one now, I promise !)

I must admit that I bought the fabric as green is my favorite colour and I thought this green just beautiful. Add to that crisp white polka dots and I thought that this was a very fabulous fabric indeed.

Once I got it home I thought I had bought a potential wardrobe 'orphan', but you know what - this skirt has more willing partners then I had anticipated, so I get to wear it often :-)

Anyways, moving on - you wanna see the goods - amirite ??

(Please excuse the photos, I cant bear having my picture taken !
AND I had a face like a well smacked arse in most of them !
It almost made me weep going through them - 'delete, delete, delete', errr yea that ones a delete too. oh ! and that one !! and so it went on lol !!)

Luckily for the sake of posterity a few of em made it  :-)








And of course some shots of pretty hems and happy insides :-)






And I can happily say grass is greener (on the other side of the kitchen wall, lol !! ) Did y'all notice my first venture outside when taking these snaps ?!? the things I do for you - geeeeeeeeeeeeeez  :-)))))

Anyways I am off outside to sit in the garden and enjoy the beautiful sunny day that I have been blessed with.

I hope you are doing something that makes you happy too x

Cheerio,
