The winner for the best straight skirt is….
We don’t have a lot of words for this one, just “W. O. W!” Some of our favorite features include
– The entire thing is recycled, from the skirt to the floral sheets used for the appliques
– She triple stitched each individual appliqued flower, then used metallic thread to do a zig zag stitch around each one too!
– She thought to add a coordinating belt, which just makes the outfit.
– Pair this with a white shirt and you’re done getting dressed. We love a statement piece!
I need to copy this one, like now! Thanks for the inspiration, Melissa! Congratulations and we hope you enjoy your prizes!

And onto some of our other favorites:
We love the off-center buttons and curved hem of this corduroy skirt by Sabra of Sew a Straight Line. If you love it too, there’s good news – she made a tutorial! And if you’re not a follower of Sabra’s blog, you should be – it’s one of our favorites. She’s currently sewing her way through her old college sewing textbook, so check her blog out first if you need help with any of the basics (seams, pockets, etc).
From Becky Waldrop, we have another take on a rainbow skirt. We just can’t get enough of that familiar, smile-inducing line of colors.
I chose the close up of this skirt by Subtle Tee instead of her modeling it so you could see all the fun details. Those pleats are just adorable, and we love the teeny tiny ric rac and barely-there flare at the hemline.
I had to include this little number by Chica’s Creations to inspire all of you who are new to sewing, or haven’t given it a shot yet. This skirt is so simple, but it is one of our favorites. The cut, the fit, and the fabric make it just perfect. You could make this too!
The hemming on this skirt by Frikadel59 is so unique – we love how she just followed the pattern on the fabric.

Thanks for the shout out, but that patchwork skirt ROCKS my world. I fell in love with it on the Flickr pool. The combination is perfect. Especially that belt. Love.
Wwwooooooowww!!!! That is SO COOL!
I am so happy I didn’t have coffee in my mouth for this because I would have spit it out! *Squee* Thank you so much! I thought for sure Sabra’s classy number was tops. And the rainbow number, so cheerful! Okay, I have to run and tell everyone I know now! :) Thank you so much!
I’m loving all of these!! I finished my very first skirt yesterday, and am excited to learn more, and with all these lovely links I’m got plenty of inspirations and direction. Thanks!

I’m so excited that I was a favorite in this pool!!!! I can’t believe it. When I saw the competition I thought, not a prayer for me! The patch work skirt is amazing. How long did that that you Melissa??? You can just see the hours of love and hard work into it :)
We guessed the winner! Woot!!! Congrats! That is a very cool skirt! As are all the other featured skirts!!!!
Congrats to the winner! Thanks everyone for the fun and inspiring week!
How cool! Thanks for putting my skirt in with some of your favorites. I am loving the winning skirt. Maybe if I send her a pair of jeans she can make me a matching one! ;)
Congrats Melissa! Awesome job!!!
I made a maternity skirt for my bf last week and detailed it like the winning skirt. Turned out pretty cool. She must have an awesome sewing machine that love to embroider, because I swear mine hates me, now! I was going to link to this post, but now can’t find how.. Agh!
