As the title says, I finished the skirt. I now have a warm, sturdy, colourful, pocket-equipped skirt.

This is kind of what I had in mind for the skirt that I gave up on – an irregular composition of semi-random pieces of fabric. I intentionally let the shape of the fabric pieces guide the design, rather than drawing something and then trying to make the pieces fit.

While at least two of the fabrics had a clear front and reverse side, I decided to ignore that. If the piece fit and the grain was right, then I used it regardless of which way it was facing.

This way I could make the whole skirt with very little waste. I have several larger pieces left over that could become something (throw pillows?) as well as smaller scraps for decoration, patching or applique.
