I wanted to make one more Itch to Stitch Taroko Skirt for fall and winter. Here are the line drawings:
Here it the fabric that was purchased:
This was suppose to be teal but it is much closer to a navy. Yes, it was one of the "I am disappointed fabrics" but it still works within my color pallet. The only top that probably will not go with it is the teal challis that I purchased in June.
Here is the finished skirt:
The Taroko Skirt has turned into one of my favorite skirt patterns having made four in the past year. That is two for cooler weather and two for warmer weather. If you have not tried it, you should. That is if you like a simple a-line skirt.
I have discovered the inconvenience of not having a local thread source with the projects but Amazon came to the rescue. Thread matching is really tough when you do not have a good way to match the thread. I do have a Gutterman thread chart but it has numbers and not names. When looking on-line, the names are mentioned and they do not always list the color number.
I also tried a new interfacing. It states that it is a medium weight fusible. I purchased this fusible from Walmart from a company called H.B.I. Products. I had a hard time getting this to fuse and stay fused. Oh, well, you have to try it to know how it will work.
I am an Itch to Stitch affiliate. Any purchases made through a link on this page will result in a small commission to me at no cost to you.
Happy Stitching!
