Wrap Skirt for the Girl - New Look 6456

 I set aside my selfish sewing for a bit to sew for my favorite girl.  She's home from college and a girl needs something new when she comes home, right?  I made a wrap skirt out of this rayon challis print she found at Joann. It was quick and easy and she's very happy.

I used New Look 6456 and made View C and made no changes (not even to the length) and it's perfect.  You really can't go wrong with a wrap skirt, they're an easy fit and easy to make.  The fabric shrunk like crazy so I had a difficult time getting all the pieces out of the fabric. I think figuring out how to make the pieces fit took almost as long as making it.  Cutting and sewing was under 2 1/2 hours and I only had a few square inches of fabric left over.  Yay me!

She's going away to work this summer and my plan is to make her another one before she gets back.  Chambray maybe?  I'm going to miss her so sewing for her will make me feel better. 

There's still so much more I've made and haven't blogged about.  Coming soon!
