A 1913ish Skirt

I have been following the Historical Sew Fortnightly challenge from The Dreamstress (http://thedreamstress.com/the-historical-sew-fortnightly/). I hope to do as many challenges as possible, but being a student I know I will not have time for a lot of them. BUT I know there are some challenges that fill in well with some of my own costuming goals, so I will do the best to do those ones.

This Christmas break I had some fun catching up on some sewing projects and using up some of my pent-up creative energy. And a couple of my recent projects fit in with some of the earlier Historical Sew Fortnightly challenges.

So, without further ado, here's my 1913 skirt for the Bi/Tri/Centennial challenge a couple weeks ago!


The skirt is made from the extra fabric from shortening my living room curtains.
