Ann's Raised Waist Skirt With a Back Flounce

A few days ago I did a post to showcase the lovely skirts that Ruth and Cennetta made using the instructions I posted for drafting the skirt below .
I was heartbroken to find out that I had somehow missed the post that Ann of http://didyoureallysewthat.blogspot.com/ did on the skirt that she made. Hopefully late is better than never. Her skirt is impeccable and I think you will truly enjoy seeing it.
Like Cennetta, Ann decided to eliminate the high waist. but other than that, she followed the drafting instructions. Take note of the invisible zipper in the off set back seam.
 The back panel was cut on the fold which is great since there is less matching of the plaid.
Ann is an incredible sewist and makes the loveliest garments. You can see the post she did on this skirt HERE. But please don't stop with her post on the skirt as you will find lots of inspiration as you scroll through.

If by chance you have made something following a Fabulous Free Pattern Friday post, a Sleeves On Saturdays post, or any other drafting tutorial I've posted, I would love for you to link up to this post and show me what you made. It can be a daunting task to try and see everything that everyone does, so a little help is very appreciated and besides that I would love to brag on you too! So just click on the InLinkz tab and link up!

Showcasing The Plaid Raised Waist Skirt With a Back Flounce

Back in November I posted this skirt as part of a Monday Morning Inspiration post on plaid fabrics. So many of you loved the skirt, so I did a post on how to draft the skirt. You can find that post HERE, just in case you missed it. It really is a very pretty skirt.
Ruth of https://corecouture.wordpress.com made a lovely version, but she decided to add the flounce to center back. You can find her post on the skirt HERE.
The lovely Cennetta of http://themahoganystylist.blogspot.com loved the plaid and she always enjoys trying out a new drafting project, so she decided to give it a go. She kept both of the flounces, but dropped the raised waist. You can find her post HERE.
Check out how cute her skirt is!
 I love the shorter version and I think she looks absolutely adorable in the skirt.
 Hmmm, I think I need to get mine finished!!!!
Thanks to Ruth and Cennetta for giving the skirt a try. I think you both look amazing in your versions.
If by chance you give this skirt or any other drafting project I've posted a try, please shoot me an email and let me know, sewbussted@yahoo.com. I love seeing what you've done and even more, I love to share your work.
