Rainbow Skirt

Craft & Design

FloorLengthRainbow.jpg
Flickr user Crafty Intentions spent five months sewing this intricate, floor-length rainbow skirt, which features 10 tiers of 4″ x 4″ patchwork squares. It’s like Scarlett O’Hara meets Willy Wonka–in the best possible way, of course!

    What an accomplishment! I love sewing and fabric and color and just a touch of quilting like in this project. How did you finish the top of the skirt?

    I’d leave a comment on the original page where I found it, but I’m not a member of Craftster ):
    I am in complete awe and in total love with this skirt. While I know I’d never be able to complete something like this, I am very much inspired to make one of my own. I love big, flowy skirts and I love rainbows, what I great combination >3<

    I love this skirt and I’m thinking about making one too but going from white to light green to medium green. I saw this originally on craftster and loved it, don’t let them get you down!
    Good Job!!

    Like the comment above, I would have placed this comment on the Craftster page if I could.
    Just to say that I can see three things wrong with this skirt so far as some of your family are probably concerned. 1) it’s not a pair of jeans. 2) it was not bought from a high-street chain store. 3) it states that you use your time to do things other than watch the TV.
    Your friend clearly adores the skirt. I hope that your partner does too. I would say it was well worth the effort. Congratulations.

    I think you did a beautiful job.
    Just as when we were kids, most people say hurtful things because they are jealous, or they feel a lacking in their own life. You must feel sorry for these people because they will never be able to get out of their own way.
    You, ma’am, are a mover! GREAT JOB on the skirt, it is a ray of sunshine!

    EXCELLENT WORK! It looks very beautiful. It attracts me at first sight. I really want to appreciate you for your beautiful skirt. continue your creation. Congratulation!

    I just love your skirt and if I could sew I would be making one right now! You could sell your skirt for quite a bit of money Im sure of it. If you sold one for a good amount of profit I bet the persons saying bad things about it would quit saying things. You should summit it to a craft magazine or craft contest. You could also make shorter versions. Anyway I loved it and can’t wait to see what you create next!

    Hi I just want you to know that I saw your skirt for the first time on pinterest and I am inspired to try to make one for my self. I think that I will reverse the dark colors with the light since I am rather heavy and I would like to hide my stomach. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Very pretty and unique. It looks like it took a lot of work/time to complete.
