This breezy elastic waist skirt features an unfinished quilt TOP that was hand-pieced with antique chambray, gingham, and calico fabrics. This quilt top came to me having been already separated from its batting and backing (evidenced by all the quilting threads that were not fully removed, and clumps of cotton batting still attached) - it had previously been quilted, but possibly was deconstructed due to backing damage, or perhaps someone had the intention to re-quilt it to better suit their style, or to upcycle themselves. Without the quilt stitching, the faint pencil lines that were used as a guide during the quilting process can be seen on the fabric, even though it has been laundered and dried in the sun - I actually think this adds character, but something to be aware of. The skirt has inseam side pockets, and has been left unlined (please note that the original stitching can be seen on the inside) and find it to be more appropriate for warm weather wear. This listing is for the SKIRT ONLY, the matching tanks are available in separate listings.
As this is made from an antique quilt top that has lived a full life before becoming a piece of wearable art, it is possible it shows its age in the form of minor discolorations and wear to some of the fabrics. These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to its past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.
