Another wrap scrap skirt! This is made from the same pattern as the Vatanai skirt I made. The pattern I used was the Lovejill reversible wrap skirt (bought from Etsy). I really like this pattern although I think it is best made in a drapey non wrap fabric, like a lightweight cotton. It was a hassle to get the hem sitting nicely as one side or the other (mainly the lining) seemed to settle unevenly probably because cut on the bias the wrap is stretchy (had the same problem with the Vatanai version). I fixed it in the end but it was rather time consuming to get right. The skirt is made from an Ellevill Paisley Tango - bamboo/cotton blend. These same colours are used in the Jade Chilli ring sling (available in my shop here). This wrap is lightweight and has a lovely drape so perfect for a wrap skirt. The lining was upcycled from an op shop find (it was probably a small tablecloth originally). I loved the vintage vibe (and I love strawberries too).
