Skirts are just so quick and easy to make - and there are such endless combinations! Here are three of my recent efforts - a blue Black dress with pockets that stick out, a pencil skirt with fold-over pockets, and an Ikta mini.

Ikat is among my favorite fabrics. This particular fabric is from Uzbekistan and is rather old - it had a Soviet era hand stamp dating it to the 1970s. Ikat is so vibrant and unique - it's a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process on the threads prior to them being woven. The fabric is produced in Central and South America but also central Asia and South East Asia. Uzbek Ikat is among my favorite because it is so incredibly vibrant.

I must find myself some more!!!
