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 love it! So pretty!
I am a lurker here but I visit your blog for every post. I just wanted to say again, how much I enjoy each of your posts about the Alabama Stitch projects you have completed. You are such an inspiration.
So pretty!

I simply adore your Alabama Chanin projects.
Lovely, Anna!
So cute! And it looks extremely comfy too.
The thought of sewing all those beads makes my heart stop. I am in awe of such work
Wow! Pretty skirt!
Gorgeous!!!
I love it!
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!
