Alabama Stitch Swing Skirt: Iced Black Rose


Sewn from four identical panels of jersey, stenciled with a single large rose motif, appliqued with black jersey shapes, and frosted with black bugle beads. My stencil was downloaded from the Alabama Chanin website, printed out, and Exacto-knifed out of poster board.


The back has a reversed image, without the applique and beading.

Isn't it amazing how something so simple can look so stunning.

I wish jersey looked better on me than it does.

Love love that black rose, especially as I'm a rather dark rose myself.

I like very much how the beading gives the flower such a lovely three-demensional appearance.

I am about to start one myself and was wondering your thoughts on the need for the double layer of jersey. Would one work if you aren't doing reverse app?

One will be fine. Have fun!
