Red Ginger Colette Skirt




Red Ginger Skirt from Colette Patterns..
  I love this skirt..it is so simple to make and comfortable to wear.  I added the nautical buttons because I also made a white and navy nautical violet blouse to wear with it.
   I joined the ginger sew along and this was my muslin.. I liked it so , finished it up. Will add pictures of the actual skirt, once I have finished it.
