I usually associate that with country-looking gift wrap and straw purse embellishments.

It will be interesting to see if the fabric snags on things during general wear. The fabric was dry-clean only but I did hand wash the fabric prior to use. I'll continue to handwash the skirt as I don't think the loose fibres will hold up to being added to a general load in a washing machine as they could snag on something.<br />Bernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594285545901719716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252526992948047010.post-32386673745523067572015-01-19T23:17:56.795+10:002015-01-19T23:17:56.795+10:00That is such an interesting skirt, and it works so...That is such an interesting skirt, and it works so well! I love those curved side seams and the pockets! How do you find it wears - does it stretch out? I picked up some weird raffia-like fabric from Tessuti too last year and was thinking of making a small jacket with it - but maybe a skirt is a better idea!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178734550537562868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252526992948047010.post-22444221631992710872015-01-19T21:33:59.093+10:002015-01-19T21:33:59.093+10:00Ooh that fabric!!
