I do, however, enjoy making my little girls' patchwork skirts, and putting different fabrics together to make cute little outfits. I've even made several ladies patchwork skirts. In fact I just finished such a skirt for a return Etsy customer!
I started out with a pretty pile of pink and brown print fabrics (my customer's colors of choice). More than 30 different fabrics to be exact!
And after much hand cutting, coordinating my pieces into piles for each strip, piecing, and then laying out the strips in such a way that the colors blended well and that no two pieces of the same fabric were next to each other, I finished up with this result.
A pretty, custom made, one-of-a-kind women's long a-line patchwork skirt in pink and brown!

That is beautiful!!!
I second that! What talent :)
Thanks so much, Ladies! It was really fun to make! :) This is my third patchwork skirt for this customer. :)
Hi Sarah,
That is lovely. I should make another skirt for myself. I love the color choice.
You did a wonderful job! You must have a lot of patience, to piece together so many sections!
Oh wow!!! Now I've just given myself another project to consider!
This is a very pretty skirt and also a lot of work to be appreciated. If you have not sold it yet, you could take a picture of the design and sell it for a back ground for a blog or web site. Quilt work is something that does well in grahic artwork, just a thought. My daughter does graphics and this is one idea she is considering.
Mrs. J. - Now that's something I had never considered. I've already shipped this skirt, but I do have a turquoise and an autumn print one. Hmm... I may have to think about that. I wonder how you would go about selling a picture like that. :)
Father's Joy - Thanks so much for commenting.
WOW - you're sooo talented! This is such beautiful work, I'm envious of your talent!!!(HollyCunningham)
