This is one of the rare projects I feel almost completely happy with. The design is a lot more fiddly than it needed to be, but I think it was worth it. The flowery fabric was from Liberty's, and was fiendishly expensive, so I only bought half a metre, which meant I needed a bit of creativity to get a nice full skirt out of it. I cut it into segment shapes, then added strips of plain fabric in between them so the skirt made a full circle, then gathered it into an elastic waistband. I used gold metallic thread to decorate the waistband and hem, and then sewed sequins into the centre of the flowers. The colours are actually incredibly bright but my camera didn't do them any favours - definitely time for a new one.
