Before we announce the winner, can we just reiterate how HARD it was to choose?! It didn’t help that there weren’t any that we immediately disliked. In fact, with every submission, ours oohs and aahs got louder. You know you’ve made a good skirt when it’s purple and Adrianna still loves it!
So, please keep in mind when we announce winners that these are highly HIGHLY subjective, based on Susan and Adrianna’s opinion on the day we chose, and in no way reflects the quality or general awesome-ness of the skirt YOU made, if indeed it does not win.
Ok, whew, we feel better.
Now onto our A-Line Skirt Winner:
book to draft a pattern and make a skirt that was perfectly tailored to her body – for only £3.50! She also mentions one of my favorite things about sewing – the process of seeing a pile of fabric transformed into a beautiful, wearable garment by your own hands in only a matter of hours.
, Simply Screen kit + Iron-ons from Mod Podge Rocks1 yard custom twill tape from TwillTape.com
And because we literally cannot help ourselves, we must showcase just a few more of our favorites. Though, picking a few favorites was almost as hard as picking one winner. Wish we could just repost the entire flickr gallery here.
From Little Cumulus, this mood-boosting rainbow voile skirt! We love the bright colors and the swingy style!
From Yellow House (her first blog post!) a reversible wrap skirt with adorable ties. Plus, it’s reversible! Can be worn two ways. Either one. Each side. Did we mention it’s reversible?!
From Subtle Tee, love the print, love the figure-flattering shape!
We love pockets! Check out these super cute ones from Sew Fearless:
And these unique pockets (made from a tablecloth!) from Flamingo Toes:
HappyCindys made the most “professional” skirt. (Get it? Because her profession is an optician? We kill ourselves.)
We have to feature this one from Dia’s Days. Not only is it just too cute, but she used Adrianna’s favorite fabric. And we’re pretty sure she wasn’t trying to cheat :) [Susan’s edit: I am not so sure.]
Congratulations to the winner! That is quite the amazing prize package. I don’t know how you picked a winner…that was a hard job. I do love the one you picked!

I.love.that.skirt! it’s totally perfect. and so many of the ones you posted I would totally wear, too.
Oh lawks, Adrianna (and Susan…in her hotel room), one is innocently reading one’s Bloglines and then suddenly comes across her own toes peeping out near the words winner! That was such a shock… but really a rather good one. And a completely surprising one too – I’d entered the skirt several weeks ago, intending to then enter something more summery…but then time escaped me and it didn’t even occur to me that my skirt was in the running because I’d seen so many lovelies appearing on your blog in the last week or so…and somehow they seemed not just lovely, but seasonally appropriate too. Gulp – how kind!
I’m so delighted – thank you – and of course…the prizes. Squeak. They look really good – I’m very excited.
I can’t wait to see which skirts you have picked from the other rounds too.
Thank you so much for running such a wonderful competition. x
