A few weeks ago when I was working on so many corduroy skirts, I pulled this purple fabric out of my box to turn into a nice warm skirt and discovered that the fabric had been folded up so long that there was a discolored line all the way down the center fold. I didn't want to just toss out the fabric, so I decided to go ahead and make a peasant skirt out if it anyway!
The skirt turned out really cute (as well as nice and warm), and the discoloration doesn't show too much. It almost looks like another seam. You can see one of the lines in the picture below (by her hands).
If you're looking for a sturdy, warm, handmade and inexpensive skirt, this skirt might be just the thing for you. Although this skirt isn't in perfect condition and you probably wouldn't want to wear it for dressy occasions, it would be a wonderful skirt for everyday wear this winter!
The skirt is a girls size 6/8 and measures 24" in length with an elastic waist of 21". The elastic can be adjusted on request. All seams have been professionally finished with a serger. A matching fabric headband also comes with the skirt.
I am selling this skirt for half price - $15 plus $5 shipping. That makes the skirt $20 postage paid. If you are interested in this skirt, please e-mail me: joyfullysewn at gmail dot com.

You sew beautifully. I no longer sew as I have what is called MCS/EI, like the boy in the bubble, so the oil from the machine causes me to have breathing problems. I read in another blog how you stay home to serve your family, so does my daughter. Because I have seizures, she stays home and because we believe the Bible sets a mandate for stay-at-home daughters. It is with great joy to hear of other stay-at-home daughters who serve God by serving their families, may God richly bless you.

Thank you so much for your comment, Mrs. J. It is my delight to serve my family and those around me from the protection and blessing of my Father's home.
You do such beautiful work!!! It's too bad my Grandaughter only wears a 2T, this skirt is really cute!!!
