The end result is a simple mini circle skirt. Cute right? This skirt can be patterned quickly and works off waist and length measurements. Simples! Best part is once you have a pattern you can make this repeatedly with a variety of fabric (which I did, but more on that later).

Add a blazer with cute Tee and your laughing. I’ll be sure to post the complete look soon.

Cheers big ears. JDx
