CSSA ~ Do the Circle Skirt Swirl!

I may be a little bit behind everyone else, but I have been busy browsing Bing images to figure out what sort of details I would like to add to my circle skirt for Casey’s Circle Skirt Sew~Along.  Here are a few pictures that particularly caught my eye ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  I am really smitten with the full skirt boarder~type print on the right; it’s so cute!   ~ * ♥ * ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  I love how the pink flowers flow on the left skirt and aren’t the stripes on the far right darling?  ~ * ♥ * ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  I really like the lace trim on the left and the gold roses are stunning.  Plus, the black fabric of both skirts looks ever so good.   ~ * ♥ * ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~   Floral fabric ~ yes please!  I am really liking the square necked blouse on the right as well ~ super cute!   ~ * ♥ * ~

I have already decided that I would like two patch pockets on the front of the skirt, and then I got to thinking that maybe little bit of embroidery on each pocket would be just the thing to finish it off!  I have been really inspired by Katie from The Little Red Squirrel ~ she has embroidered some lovely pin ups on her skirt and it looks fab!

Here are my top embroidery patterns for this project ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  I am favouring bows and flowers for my patterns, but that’s no surprise.  I think the one on the right is winning so far.  Simple, but elegant.  I like it.  ~ * ♥ * ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  I couldn’t resist these sweet little birds and the fawn is lovely too.  ~ * ♥ * ~

  
~ * ♥ * ~  Maybe one of these patterns?  I am really not sure… ~ * ♥ * ~

I think that writing this post has helped me to finalize exactly which details I want to add to my circle skirt.  It’s probably not that hard to guess where I am going, but none the less I shall leave the final decision a secret for the big reveal.  : D  Have a great weekend!
