Today we have another former contestant from Project Run and Play. Back from season 3 we have Kristin from Skirt as Top sharing a fun and fruity skirt idea.
Hi, I'm Kristin from skirt as top, and I'm so happy that Liz and Elizabeth asked me to contribute a tutorial to Skirting the Issue. Sewing for charity is something I always want to do more of, but it's so easy to let it slide by as I go about my daily routine. This was the perfect push I needed to do the most unselfish of sewing, and I'm really glad I did.
My inspiration for these little skirts is fresh, summer fruit. Citrus fruit, berries, and melons are summertime staples to me, and I thought it'd be fun to color-block slices of fruit in skirt form. Once I had that idea, I couldn't help but make more! It was fun playing with color combos and thinking of how to represent different fruits in a piece of clothing. I could have keep going and going, but had to stop somewhere! These are quick to sew, comfy for a little gal, and require no hemming. They're fruit stripe skirts!
Oh these dresses look so great! <3
