I fell in love with the Joel Dewberry fabric and sewing patterns when I saw them at Quilt Market. This weekend, I finally got a chance to sit down and sew myself a skirt using the Meadow Spirit Skirt pattern.
I was very nervous, because my experience sewing with clothing patterns is very limited. The Meadow Spirit Skirt has an interfaced yolk, pleats, and a zipper. Sounds scary, huh? Actually, I was able to finish the skirt successfully in a surprisingly short amount of time. The instructions were thorough, accurate, and easy to follow. And guess what? The skirt actually fits! :)
Crochet Flower: The pattern has instructions for the crochet flower as well. I don't know how to crochet, so I didn't do that part. If you don't crochet but still want the flower on the sash, you can get crochet flowers at The Dizzy Daizy and Flannel Queen.

Fabric Used: In my skirt, I used Michael Miller Charcoal Dandy Damask and Riley Blake Essential Dots.
Jewelry: The necklace I am wearing is handmade by Ellabelle.
