What a sport!<br />These are beautiful. I have often gazed at the photo of them in the book and wondered what they would be like. Maybe I will try them in the summer, they look less restrictive than the Badminton skort.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648562959654477795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-23068894024056729552014-11-24T16:18:53.152+11:002014-11-24T16:18:53.152+11:00I've had the curved hem straight stripe dilemm...I've had the curved hem straight stripe dilemma a lot recently. For good reason most skirts have just enough curve that this kind of fabric would never work.

I had hoped to incorporate the stripe, too, but the hem on the dress I made was curved so I wasn't able to. I love this color so much and I am sure your friend and her daughter will be absolutely delighted. rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-60282142628157803482014-11-20T22:05:06.452+11:002014-11-20T22:05:06.452+11:00Yep, I don't remember anything this practical ...Yep, I don't remember anything this practical either.
