Skirt Week: That’s a Wrap!

June 17, 2012 By crafterhours 4 Comments

This year’s skirtpalooza was fun, no? We like to summarize all of the fun in one post… just for fun. A skirtpalooza linkpalooza. For anyone wandering in who’s not heard of skirt week, it’s alllll here. Or here for 2011.

We started out with this announcement and invitation to join us. We then set up the four pools for skirts:   a-line, full, straight and children’s and shared the lineup of guest posts, including skirts from:

Sabra from Sew a Straight Line
Janica from JaniJo (our readers’ choice full skirt winner 2011!) 
Michael Ann from Michael Ann Made (our readers’ choice straight skirt winner 2011!)
Stacey from Boy oh Boy oh Boy!
Kim and the talented team at Spoonflower
Disney from Ruffles and Stuff
Jessica from Happy Together
Meg from Elsie Marley
Jess from Craftiness is not Optional
Jessica from Running with Scissors
Elisabeth from My Growing Home
Corinnea & Jessica from Created Blissfully
Natasha from Little Pink Monster
oh, and us too. Twice.
We spent a week parading our awesome Skirt Week sponsors through your living room (or bedroom or office or poolside, wherever it is you read our blog). They included:
Lilac Lane
Birdsongs and Bows
Fabricworm
Whimsy Couture
Jamie Christina
Made by Rae
Little Lizard King
The Fabric Fairy
Ribbon Retreat
Sew Liberated
Fishsticks Designs
Twill Tape Guy
After the sponsor parade we identified and thanked our fabulous panel of judges who dug through *365* skirt entries to choose their favorites. Our judges included:

1: Ashley of Lil Blue Boo  2: Meg of Elsie Marley  3: Amy of Mod Podge Rocks and 12 other sites  4: Rae of Made by Rae  5: Michael Ann of Michael Ann Made  6: Sabra of Sew A Straight Line  7: Natasha of Little Pink Monster  8: Jen of Upcycled Education  9: Kim of Crafty NH Mom  10:  Disney of Ruffles and Stuff  11: Florence of Flossie Teacakes  12: Jessica of Happy Together  13: Mandy of Sugar Bee Crafts  14: Jess of Craftiness Is Not Optional  15: Stacey of Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy  16: Susan of Living With Punks  17: Janica of JaniJo  18: Anna of Noodlehead  19: Jessica of Running With Scissors
And during the week of Skirt Week competition, 40 finalists competed for the four reader’s choice and four judge’s choice awards. The winners for A-Line, Full, Straight and Children’s categories were all finalized.
This year’s winners by category were:
A-line Reader’s Choice: Skirt With Peepholes by MissPatee!
A-line Judge’s Choice: Skirt With Pockets And Snaps by Mie!
Straight Reader’s Choice:  MissPatee with the Trees in the Forest Skirt!

    Skirt Week (month) was SO FANTASTIC! You two did a lot of work, I know, but it turned-out beautifully:) I definitely will be referring to the flickr pools all year long for inspiration. Thanks Adrianna & Susan:)
