This is the very first prototype I made for the Hopscotch Skirt<\/a> pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, my design initially included a tie at the waist. When I finished making the sample I decided this was just one too many details on the skirt, which already includes fun pockets and the button placket. Because I wanted to focus on the button placket, I eliminated the tie from the final pattern. But it’s a cute design detail, and I wanted to show it to you in case you want to add a tie to your own skirt.<\/p>\n

The ties get sewn into the side seams when the front and back panels are sewn together. I gave each tie a little pleat so it could fit the waistband but would still be wide enough to make a nice puffy bow in the front.<\/p>\n

For reference, each tie on this size 3 sample is 25″ long and 1 1\/2″ wide. You could also use a ribbon instead of self fabric. Maybe you’ll want to eliminate the pockets and include the tie instead?\u00a0Play with this idea and see what you can do with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
