Halloween Skirt Madness Part 2

The madness continues!

I made two more skirts with Simplicity 2449 view B.  One has a purple print background, with pumpkins and ghosts.

The second has a checkerboard-type background of purple and black, with skulls, spiders and spiderwebs. Though the fabric was sold in the Halloween section, it will be suitable for year-round wear. :)

I used another fabric suitable for year-round wear with McCalls 5681. It's purple with owls and spooky branches.

Will the madness ever end?  :)

      It was one of my favorite finds this year. :) I got it at a Hancock Fabrics store.

    I'm a little envious - those all look so fun! I need to learn to sew. XD

      Indeed! Sewing is fun, and the finished product is fun to wear. It's a twofer. ;)

    I have got to pick up this pattern. It looks simple enough but really flattering. I'm really loving your skirts.

      Thanks! I have made at least a dozen skirts with this pattern. The only change I make is to cut the yoke narrower so it's more like a plain waistband.

      I ordered it online, and it turned out to be really nice quality. :D I might have to buy the white version, too...

      At this rate, I'll soon have more Halloween skirts than there are days in October to wear them.
