My First Skirt

A friend contacted me recently and asked if I could make her a skirt out of scarves. I didn't have enough scarves of matching lengths to do what she was asking, but I'd made a bunch of 10 stitch by 10 row squares awhile back. I suggested that I could sew a few of them together to make her a patchwork skirt.

When I asked how long she wanted it to be & she said "Long enough to cover my ass but too short for me to bend over all the way," I thought, this is the perfect client!!!

She found a skirt she already had of that description and gave me the measurements.
This is the front...
....and this is the back.
I intentionally gave the impression of a split skirt
...And this is how it looks all seamed up

I was really kind of scared about doing this, as I've never actually made clothing before. But I think it's a good start, and while this skirt may not be for everyone, it really did turn out a lot fiercer than I'd hoped.
