How fabulous is this skirt that Elena made all by herself? This is her best work yet. Somebody get Tim Gunn on the phone.
Amy Butler’s “Memento/Midnight” fabric from her Love line + minty colored bias tape + an orange zipper.
“Mom, want to know why I love this skirt? Watch this.”
Wishing you all a happy and carefree weekend.

I think her mom helped her with this fantastic fabric choice, but she does have pretty sophisticated taste, as you’ve shown before.

I was lucky enough to see this skirt in person today after school…had no idea that she made it, though! She told me she made and I still didn’t really believe it! Good work, Miss Craftanista.
