It was all folded up and taped all the way around so I couldn't open it up and look at the whole piece. I just figured for $3 I would take my chances. :0)
Well, when I got home with it and opened it up all hidden away in the folds was some naked people eating grapes (or some such scene). What the heck was I going to do with that?! lol After looking at the fabric and thinking on it for awhile I decided to make a wrap skirt. Fortunately the panel was finished on both edges and was just right for wrapping around. I measured to make sure I could get a skirt out of it that was long enough to make me happy without having the nudies across my butt (that's where they would have been.) So I cut it where I thought it would work best and then cut two strips all the way across. I sewed the strips together and used then on the top of the skirt and as the tie. I just put a button hole on one side so the tie can slip through and wrap around.
Obviously I used the fringe for the bottom of the skirt, and with the finished sides I was able to get this with minimal effort. And hey, I've still got the naked people in case I come up with something to use them for. lol Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out and can't wait to wear it. Wonder if I have a top to go with it?
