I've been sitting on my load of
batik fabric for ages..... Finally, I got off my bum and made a skirt using the pink-yellow-gray
batik fabric. In my younger days, my wardrobe was mainly blacks, blues, grays, and other dull colours. While I'm starting to embrace colour, I was still a little wary of being "too bright". Thus, I toned it down a little by adding a black band of fabric at the bottom edge. This band also conveniently hid the raw edges of the
batik cloth. At the elastic band area, I added a line of sewing snugly against the top of the elastic. I think this gives it a more finished look compared to not having this line. I like to match this with a plain black top so that the focus is on the skirt :)
