Recently I promised my hubby that I would try to cut down on the amount of clothes I buy...my way of upholding this promise while still feeding my addiction for clothes was to buy some patterns and some (more!) fabric and add to my wardrobe that way.

I spend most of my life out in my studio making all sorts of things for other people, but I rarely treat myself to some 'me time' in the studio. This weekend I carved out some time for myself, guilt free, to make this skirt.

The skirt is made using the Brumby Pattern by Megan Neilson and the fabric was from M is for Make - a bargain in their sale, but no longer available I am afraid (do have a look at their beautiful fabrics though, I love their selection!)

The skirt was very simple to make up, a really easy and comprehensive pattern for beginners wanting to try their hand at learning some new skills. I am really pleased with the way the skirt has turned out and I am sure it will be the first of many to be made up in the Made by HRM studio - watch this space!

P.s ... I hate having my photo taken! These are the best of a billion!
