It is a very simple skirt with a gathered waistband, so it wasn't too hard to make although there were a couple of constraints that the fabric itself threw up. One of these was the pattern repeat, I wanted the back seam to match up so the width of my skirt had to fit in with this but luckily it was in a workable place so that was ok. The other one was that because the pattern on this fabric was a border, I had to work from the bottom up and do the hem first rather than last otherwise I would have ended up cutting off a lot of the pattern.
I am pleased with how this turned out, and as I didn't need to cut the fabric into lots of pieces, it means that when I'm bored of it I can cut it up and make it into something else! Not bad for a total cost of around £2.00!
