Testing the Taylah Skirt for Bubby and Me Creations

The Taylah Skirt 

Well, this skirt just ticks all my boxes! You might be aware of my love for pleats, which is what initially drew me to this pattern - as soon as I saw a sneak peek of the first pleat, I was waiting for the testing call! However, of the three versions I made for this test, this simple gathered version is my favourite, I adore the way it falls and sits.
I used a cotton poplin for this one (purchased from The Material Girl, but I'm not sure if it is still available). I was saving it for a dress, but I just couldn't resist!

The Taylah Skirt pattern by Bubby and Me Creations is suitable for both knits and wovens, making it so versatile and it has options for either pleats, a full gathered skirt, or a simple gathered skirt (pictured above). The woven versions have either a fixed back elastic, or adjustable elastic, giving you lots of growing room, or perfect if you sew to sell. The knit versions have a full elastic waist.

I also made the woven pleated version in a quilting cotton by Riley Blake Designs and the weight was perfect for the pleats (but imagine this in a gorgeous tartan....)
Both of my woven versions used a fixed back elastic, because I only had 5cm of adjustable elastic left (I have no idea why I kept a 5cm piece of adjustable elastic!)
My knit version was made in a super pretty lilac unicorn cotton lycra from Spotlight and was a huge hit with unicorn loving Miss K. I HAD to try the pleated version for the knit this time, it is of course love!

My next one is cut, ready and waiting to sew when I can finally get back to my machines *sigh*
It is a gathered version, with undershorts attached - yes, that's right, attached, so no knicker flashes!

All in all, its a huge thumbs up here!
