Meet my mannequin Akephalei (sic). Here Akephalei is sporting a 70's tunic shirt and green skirt. I made the skirt. The shirt just matched well.
Several months ago there was to be a folk dance at the local college. Always looking for an excuse to sew, I decided to make a flowy skirt for it. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough fabric to make a circle skirt with (those things are sooo flowy), so I used vaguely geometric shapes to create flow instead.
The body of the skirt is made up of seven triangles with the tops cut off, seamed to look circular on the bottom. The top is a waist band made out of a really long rectangle. Then, because no skirt should be without a pocket, I found a scrap of green big enough for a pocket and sewed it on where it wouldn't get in the way. As far as design went, this skirt worked pretty well. As far as fabric choice went, green cotton was not a good idea.
