into a warm Winter skirt. Finished it this afternoon after starting it yesterday.





It is soooooo warm with some warm tights and a flannel petti on underneath. Toasty!!

Oh no Clare, you can still wear skirts and dresses on cold days. I wear tights and pettis with long skirts to stay warm. I love it. I feel so girlie and feminine (strange thing to hear from a feminist-huh?) and I feel like I am suppose to be this way. I love my skirts...

Oh, how fun!! I love it!!! I think you have a wonderful sense of personal style and great sense of design. I am working on this as I feel more timid about reinventing items, but I am getting better.

I love the long skirts and wear them with leggings or warm cottong tights, too. Too cold today for one, though, unless I stay inside for most of it.

Sunshine, I saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers MANY times as my in laws own it, and my daughter adores it. Yes, they were making skirts from quilts in the movie.

If I remember correctly in the movie 7 brides for 7 brothers the brides during the winter months of captivity made dresses out of quilts.

Tasha, that's great!
I am seriously considering switching to skirts and petticoats...I LOVE how it feels to be wearing them.

I have a favorite petticoat that I made from a pair of eyelet curtain panels... it's very sweet.

Wow! It seems as though each day I come to this site, I read/see another thing that just burns this dream of farm-life deeper into my heart... It's a good feeling, but it can make it hard to be in the 'waiting' time of it...
All of you inspire me. Thanks.
Faith

I am glad I am not the only one who loves the "prairie girl" feel. I too wear long skirts, petticoated with an extra layer for warmth and leggings. It never slows me down, and i can hop right up on a tractor very comfortably.

Great job, Tasha on the skirts. You wear it with great style to boot.

It is a wrap skirt with super long ties. It is heavy but not hard to walk in or wear. I think you can see them in the second photo, the photo of the backside.

I can't believe how quickly you can make these things. You are so talented!

How cute! Did you put in a zipper or tie for holding it on? Is it terribly heavy to wear and walk in? Very prairie girl!

I do love the way it drapes. Shorter on the sides, longer in front. It looks so cozy and like you are a pioneer woman making something to keep yourself warm for the long winters on the prarie!
