First Skirt Variation

 
 I have now started experimenting with some of the variations on my A-Line skirt pattern. I am really happy with this. It took a little longer to make, especially the cute little frill at the bottom, but well worth the effort.
I love the bright fabrics!

 
The orange slicks of colour were cut on the bias, so I had to refresh my memory on how to make continuous binding.

 
Not sure why the bottom fabric looks flouro green, but it definitely lime green with a small white dot.
Zipper installation went much more smoothly with this one, thanks to the tips I received from the lovely dressmaker who sold the zippers to me.
 
 Not sure I want to risk getting paint on this one at work.
 
The really cool thing is that I have lots of REALLY bright fabric scraps left over to use in future patchwork projects.

If you're an Aussie, I hope you had a great Australia Day weekend.
