Maxi-Skirt

We called them maxi-skirts back in the '70's. Now they are popular again. Even kindergarteners want one, it seems! I used some double gauze fabric purchased recently from Sunny Day Fabrics to make Lula's dream come true...
I've used this Burda 9442 pattern before and knew that it was a great fit and cute style. The double gauze is so soft and drapey...perfect for a skirt.
This time, I used a coordinating fabric for the yoke, left off the bow and created the longer version.
 Some things never go out of style!

  4. Gotta love that cute smile in the last photo. The yoke idea is a very nice addition.

  5. Oh, it's too cute! I don't believe I've ever sewn with double gauze, but it appears to hang very nicely. Good for an adult's skirt too, I'm guessing. You know, I've never been a fan of maxi skirts, but I know many do wear them. Just sort of think it odd to see them here, where it seems to me to be too warm to wear them.
