Now I wasn't in love with the ribbon options offered by my local retail outlets, but made the best of it with a patterned ribbon in citrus colors. The original plan had turquoise on the bottom, but it just didn't work for me.
So is started over with orange on the bottom and went for three wider bands of equal size.
The inspiration skirt, as well as the sample in Sarah's tutorial was solid with a nice gradient of dark to light pastel colors. Mine is color blocked with a lattice design, and guess what? I love it!
The colors look a little grayer in the picture than in person. Matching up the lattice design was a little tedious, but well worth the effort.
The side is only basted since I'm determined to stick with the sew-along and wait patiently for further instructions on Monday.
Great creative color choices! II am hoping sewers present a variety of color choices and truly love your selection!
ReplyDeleteI am crazy about this trellis pattern ribbon and especially how you've managed to match up the rows so precisely. This is going to be a beautiful skirt!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I can't wait for the next "lesson."
DeleteWhat a great color combination. Normally I really like turquoise, but your instincts were right on in eliminating it.
ReplyDeleteThe lattice effect is wonderful!
Thanks! It's a lot of fun watching it take shape.
DeleteLove your ribbon choices! I'm afraid my black to gray to silver version is going to look blah next to this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cissie. Yours sounds lovely, I can't wait to see it. That is the colorway I was originally planning on which didn't work out. Maybe on the next one!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choices. The lattice design is a great choice.
