Red skirt

This is a skirt I designed and made recently. I used red gingham fabric, and used my own design. I don’t tend to follow any pattern when I’m making clothing. I prefer to use a method of trial and error. This garment is high waisted, with a bubble shape over the hips and then a tighter band that rests on the thighs. It looks good with a fitted top like I have modelled in the photograph. There is a zip on the back.
