Copy Catwalk: paper bag skirt with box pleats



My Copy Catwalk Project this week was this cute yellow paperbag topshop skirt....it was surprisingly easy and the turn out was awesome! I love when things turn out. I will say this project uses a LOT and a LOT of ironing.  I will post the tutorial tomorrow. Need to head to bed now.

    I am so envious right now! 1) I wish I could sew like this, or at all. period. 2) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the blue color of this skirt and 3) your shoes are awesome. Where are they from? I'll pay you to make me a skirt like this. I love the paperbag ones, but most are too short. No, but seriously... think about it. :)

    I just can't wait for the great things you are going to sew for me for Mother's Day...hint, hint! How about a long, jersey flowered skirt. Like the one from high school days, but more flattering (which means bigger). Love, Mummsie xoxox

    Can't wait for the tutorial! Love your blog btw. I have some fabric and I'm trying to figure out what kind of skirt I want to attempt to make with it. This could be it. ;)

    Lizzie, do you have time to answer your comments? I have a few questions ( like, do you know how to tie-dye a shirt) for you when you aren't so busy. Thanks. Love your fabulous blog! Elaine

    I do love this skirt and the color! I especially love the white trim on the top. It was so fun meeting you tonight! I can't wait to get together! I should show you the place I get inexpensive fabric...

    I just want to say, I'm sewing this skirt now in corduroy (because I need winter skirts and corduroy is what I have for free from Grandma!) and it is turning out BEAUTIFULLY! It's so easy and so flattering! I made mine a bit longer and it looks lovely. Thanks so much for the easy tutorial.
