Mexican Tablecloth Skirt

This is the Mexican Tablecloth Skirt. There's not a lot left to say about it. I wanted the lining to just barely peak out of the bottom, but I think it's a bit too much and I might need to take a tuck in it. Hard to tell.
This is a bit shorter than I usually make my TNT (although really I think you have to make variations that aren't just different fabric) KS 3337 skirt because the fabric shrunk when I washed it. Bu it's not indecently short and it was comfortable to wear all day.
The guy who works at the coffee shop in my building came out and said I looked absolutely adorable today - so JB must be wrong about it looking like a tablecloth. More sewing to come.

  1. I don't think it looks like a table cloth, but what do I know. Wasn't it nice to get a compliment from a random guy? You must be doing something right!

  4. It has turned out beautifully, and looks so good with that top - both are so flattering. Now, sit back and enjoy your holiday weekend,

  8. Still definitely not a tablecloth. I love the lining coming down a little further, I think it looks nice. I think it looks intentional and nice, if you shorten it, it may look more accidental and not as nice. I agree with the coffee shop guy, you look wonderful!
