after a busy photo weekend and catching up on my project runway episodes i felt inspired to dive into my pile of half finished sewing projects. first on the list was this white linen skirt that i was supposed to have made for my sister-in-laws wedding in july. obviously that didnt happen. the skirt of loosely designed around the following jcrew skirt. i wanted something cool for summer that i could dress up for church or dress down with flip flops for shopping. now that the summer is on its way out i have finished it. oh well.
jcrew version:
my version:
i used this pattern for the main pieces and made the following changes:
added pockets
lowered waistline to hips
added waistband
added band at the bottom
next on the list: ruffle jacket and messenger bag

You are an awesomww seamstress. Well, you and Ri both are. Wish I had your talent!!! Love the skirt by the way.
Your skirt turned out great Kelli. I tried to catch up on Project Runway too but for some reason surfthechannel wasn't working for me with project runway. I'm so impressed with all your skills!
Oh my gosh. I am now obsessed with that J.Crew skirt (thanks a lot) and I am amazed at yours!!! It's beautiful! You are a woman of many talents! I don't sew, but if I did...
That's chottolicious minus the chotto!!
Can I just borrow a few of your many talents?? I guess they are all inter-related, so it makes sense. In that case, can I borrow your eyes so I can do cool things, too??? Love the skirt!
so cute! i love project runway and the creativity it inspires! :)
so cute . . .
plus i'm glad that we blog friends ;)
Hey Kelli--this is Erica, Rian's friend. I have a question for you. I have a friend that is trying break into the photography world but doesn't know many great locations. Could you tell me a few of your favorites? Thanks.
ps. I didn't know you had the seamstress talent too!
