St. Patty's Day's Chinese Lanterns

Apparently, it's March 17th.... I couldn't tell by the 6+ inches of snow still outside and the FREEZING temps. It's bitterly cold outside and I have to admit, I'm a little bitter of the warm temps down south. All the St. Patty Parade pics of short sleeves and flip flops have me very jealous. Ugh. This southern girl is craving warm temps! 

So, this St.Patrick's Day, I am all bundled up in my freshly made green reversible wrap skirt. If you remember, this is the same pattern from the LSU Game Day skirt I made back in November. I love this pattern because it's so versatile and simple. This time, I remembered to add in the extra seam allowances and it came out perfect. I did cut the skirt shorter than the LSU skirt as I wanted it to be more flirty and fun. This girl is excited to get out and show her green pride!

  1. Very nice! I'm making a similar wrap skirt pattern by Kwik Sew right now, and this inspired me to line it so it can be reversible too.
