Hirst skirt

I have worn this skirt lots of times and I wish that I had made a paper pattern so I could easily make another version. It was drafted from an old skater skirt and I free-styled the construction using some spotty furnishing cotton from Ikea that reminded me of Damian Hirst's spot paintings - hence the Hirst skirt title!


I fashioned a back split and completed the back seam with top stitching to create a stronger seam.

I used a baby pink scrap fabric to line the pockets and top stitched to create a piped edge to the pocket.
