Me Made May Day 21. This is Sewing Therapy Ele Skirt. It is so swishy and cheerful in this floral lightweight cotton canvas from Dalston Mill Fabrics. As soon as I saw the print on this fabric, I knew I had to have something summery to wear in it! This skirt has 3 front options, knife pleats, box pleats or gathers on two sections towards the sides of the front, with some soft gathers at the back. It has a flat front and elasticated back, with a choice of a broad, or narrower waistband. I chose to use knife pleats and a broad waistband.
