The “Bibbity Bobbity Bubble” Skirt
I am a little late to the Colette Pattern party. But this past weekend I finally pulled out my Beignet pattern. And I just know that this particular pattern will be getting a lot of attention in the near future.
My original plan for participating in these challenges was to curtail the number of complicated dresses I have a habit of sewing.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been so great about sticking to that resolution.
But this week was the perfect opportunity to get back on track.
Without a doubt, the skirts that I have sewn get the most use. So my reality check was to create, you guessed it, a skirt. This particular print is a bit over the top, so it will probably not get as much wear as a solid colored skirt, but I am very excited to have found a skirt pattern that I love.

Gorgeous skirt…please tell me those aren’t bound buttonholes down the front : ) LOVE what you do Laura!!
Thanks Loran – and what a great eye you have for details! They are indeed bound buttonholes. I have an intense fear of putting a finished garment under a buttonhole attachment and hoping for the best. Not sure where it came from, but I can’t seem to shake it.
Wow, the bound button holes look fantastic and done in black just adds an upscale look.
SO. CUTE. I can’t BELIEVE you made that many bound buttonholes, you are AMAZING.
That is a beautiful skirt! The print is lovely and the bound buttonholes are simply amazing.
So cute and a bit different than your usual vintage look. I really like it and I want to make one just like it.
Those buttonholes and the choice of the pink buttons make this skirt so special. Love the shape.
