how beautiful is this fabric?! My daughter Cassie designed this very pretty, inviting and perfectly summery scene and of course her proud mother had to buy some. The name of the print is “public pool”, available in her Spoonflower shop here, and the fabric is a very nice lightweight cotton drill. I’d bought it several years ago, before my self-imposed fabric-buying ban … I have bought a few pieces of fabric from Spoonflower over the years and love using their fabrics; it’s a little expensive but the quality is really good, and I really love it! I still have a few more of those pieces hanging around in my stash. #embarrassing
I finally decided on a little skirt and naturally chose our own Meelup pattern, my current favourite. I apologise for being repetitive, but I just find it very easy to make, super comfortable to wear, and I love the pockets so much. This is one of the four unblogged projects from last year that I mentioned, actually from about April or May or somewhere about there… but I didn’t get around to wearing it straightaway because winter was almost upon us, let alone blogging it, then decided to leave it until summer. But then I sorta lost track of blogging for a little while in there. Anyway, here it is.
I lined it with a pale green polyacetate lining fabric, a long term stash resident. Rather than photos, I actually made little making-of video, for fun, and Cassie made the last frames with our pattern cover cleverly transitioning in like that. I like making videos but it does take up a lot more time obviously. I really admire people who can make them so effortlessly and would really like to be better at it. If I can l’ll try to improve myself in this area. I hope you enjoy it!

Deets; I’m wearing it above with one of my Booragoon tops, and clogs I made myself using a kit from Leather Needle Thread
