TGIFF - Cleo Skirt Finish

Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday, once again being hosted here on the East Coast of Canada.



Rae @ Made by Rae hosted a Cleo Skirt QAL earlier this month.  Unfortunately, I got sidetracked with life and didn't finish during the QAL.  Here is the fabric I started with.


I made a little mistake along the way -- accidentally sewed the waistband right side to the wrong side of the skirt.  Oops.


This is a simple pattern with lots of good directions.  There is elastic in the back of the waistband, but not the front.  It has two side pockets.


And voila...a finished skirt.


Here are a couple of photos of me wearing the skirt.





Now it's time for you to link up your finishes.  Link up your blog post showing off your finished project using the linkup below.  Don't forget to visit a few blogs to spread some quilty love and encouragement.  Please include a link and/or the TGIFF button in your blog post so your followers can also view all the great finishes.

    Your skirt looks gorgeous Anja! How easy was it? I've been thinking about making that skirt for myself.

    I really feel like the fabric for the skirt is so great for you. Congratulations on getting it complete! I hope it fits well and you get lots of great use out of it; like I said, I can really envision it being such a great fit for you (such Anja colors)!!

    That's a lovely skirt, I like that it has elastic at the back but not the front. Great fabric, bold pattern and orange, your favourite.

    That looks great, Anja. I don't like fully elasticated waistbands, but a bit of elastic at the back like this is just right - it helps ensure a perfect fit but still looks smart.

    I love the fabric you chose for this! And funnily enough, a friend sent me the link to the pattern for the Cleo, suggesting that it looks like the kind of skirt I'd wear. Does the pattern give you options for length as well as the pockets and contrast bit?
