I love that fabric as a skirt, very cute. And I have the same shoes!!!
very nice. Love that fabric, and the story about making the skirts on her blog!
sew adorably cute and fun! Very versatile too, could go with anything!
It looks great and I would have never thought of using Echino fabric, but it suits it just right! Keep up the good work!

I really like the fabric.
very cute skirt! I’ll have to check out the pattern…always looking for easy and cute patterns for my four teenage girls to make. I also like the ModKid skirt pictured a couple of days ago. SewMamaSew is one of my favorite blogs….great inspiration and encouragement to keep sewing! Also love your fabrics…ordering is so easy and service is fabulous! Thank you!
Very nice!
Is that an Amy Butler rug as well? Great skirt!

Cute skirt! I’ve been wanting to try an Amy Butler clothing pattern.
Oh Kara, good job! That’s a lovely skirt…

I just bought several different types of fabric to be made into an A-line skirt. This one looks perfectly made! I’m very new to sewing and it gives me hope that I too, can make this! Thanks for sharing!
the skirt is so nicely sewn *_* beautiful. nothing like the first thing i sewn..
Oh wow, love the fabric choice! A-line skirts are so flattering and this cute fabric makes it that much better! Great job on this, Kara!
This is such a super skirt. Great job!
I’ve always wanted to make the Barcelona Skirt, even though I usually draft my own patterns. I’m really excited for the knit fabric!
Very cute and simple!
Great job! That fabric worked great with that skirt!
Cute skirt and great fabric!
Very cute! Out of all the inspiration posts from this month, this is actually something I might try.
Lovely skirt
Great skirt. I am so excited to see it since I just purchased the pattern. I can’t wait to get started.
I made this skirt, too, and what I love best about is the versatility. I wear it to work with a blouse or sweater, and I wear it for Saturday with a tank top. Its great.
Love the fabric. Great job!
I have often looked longingly at this pattern but feel I must finish other things on the list first. Great job, I really like the fabric you chose.
I do love this pattern. I have made myself several skirts, some whimsical & some for work. It’s a great start.
Looks great!
I love the fabric colors, and the just at lower knee length is kind of retro cool.
Love how this pattern looks in this fabric. Susan
So pretty!!!
Beautiful–I love a great A-line skirt. I’ll have to consider getting the pattern.

I love this skirt. The fabric is gorgeous and I really like how it all comes together!
Great skirt. I’ve also cut some fabric wrong.
