Color wheel

July 29, 2017

Yes, indeed.  I do have more fabric from the Fun Rounds!

Arcoiris at RP Custom Fabrics

This is the color wheel print, and I decided to make a skort and top with a flounce for the girl.  This were really easy to cut with the circular lines in the prints.  I used two  25″ rounds for the skirt and one 12″ round for the top.

I cut the flounce 3 levels, and then connected them all together.  I didn’t use the inner most circle.  I’ll save those for a rainy day.  I think they will work well for some flounce sleeves.

The patterns were self-drafted.  The skirt is just a simple A-line skirt with a doubled up waistband.  I attached the flounce all at once in one continuous line.  The top is a basic tank top, though I had to add some to the top under the flounce.  The panels were too short for her.  There is a watercolor music sheet underneath the flounce.

The watercolor music fabric is from Affordable Fabrics and More, and I purchased it last year.  I don’t think any is currently in stock.  I used a panel for the front and one for the back and then the sheet music for the upper part of the top and the waistband.

I was pretty “fly by the seat of my pants” in putting the flounce on the skort.

Which is why it is uneven.

I’m okay with that, though.

It is a skort, so it has shorts underneath.  She is pretty active, so any skirt I make her is going to have some shorts underneath.

I’m pretty sure the Arcoiris fabric will go with anything, but if you have a watercolor type print…it definitely will.  I love this combo so much!

The pre-order is open until August 15th.
