I made this skirt last weekend. I based it off of my favorite skirt pattern, Simplicity 2451, which I thought I could turn into a midi-length mullet skirt. I think the idea might have been good, but I used the wrong fabric (at least it was thrifted) and ignored what I knew about making circle/half-circle skirts and ended up with something I don’t really want to wear.
Something else I didn’t consider; you need a nice seam in the back of the skirt because it’s visible! I overlocked the raw edges of my fabric but I still think it looks a little goofy.
Next, I’m going to cut off the mullet and see if I can’t make this skirt wearable enough for me or somebody else. Wish me luck!
Man, I'm sorry that this didn't turn out the way you'd hoped. I bet it will be cute if you even out the hem!
Aw, thanks! I'm hoping so, I'll definitely post an update if it's wearable!
Could it be fixed with a fun lining in a contrasting colour? That would hide the seam and make it extra fun to wear?!
I'd really like to try making a mullet skirt out of another fabric so I'm going to store your idea away! Awesome!
It looks cute on the hanger, and your legs would probably distract from the seam. -kate
Haha! Sometimes I can't handle knowing that I'm wearing something that I could have done properly… I'm neurotic like that.
Ahh, tough times. It was a noble venture! The colour is gorgeous, I really hope you can get it into wearable shape. Thanks so much for your comment on the 'Part of the Process' guest post BTW. I'm so pleased that it inspired youxxx
Yah, I guess it's good to fail sometimes… makes success that much more enjoyable!
