SIMPLICITY 2215 SKIRT : NANI IRO
Simplicity 2215 Skirt Pattern
nani IRO canvas
photos taken at the NH Excelsior Hotel in Siena, Italy
Our trip to Italy was almost a month ago now and I’ve yet to post any photos from my DSLR. There are SO MANY! I really just need to spend one entire day going through and editing them before too much time passes by. I thought I’d post up some smaller bits to start.
This simplicity skirt pattern is one of my favourites! I have a few other pieces of fabric set aside to make this pattern in again. I just can’t resist the uneven pleats and the pockets.
This fabric might look familiar. Yes, it’s true. I already have a Birdie Sling in this same nani IRO fabric, but I really love it and felt like I also needed to make a piece of clothing with it. I laid out the pattern so that the hem of the skirt is actually the selvedge of the fabric so that I could include all the lovely text and the fringe.
Siena was one of my favourite parts of our trip. I promise more photos of the actual city soon!

Lovely skirt Karyn! So happy you like Siena – I spent a summer studying there while at U of T and it is just about my favourite place on earth. We’ll have to chat next time I come in. 🙂
Oh great skirt, I saw the picture in my reader and thought immediately of your bag! Nice to have a chance to say hello at squam.
Using the selvedge as a hem! What a great idea. Beautiful skirt. I long to go back to Sienna… and Lucca and Florence. Had a wonderful time there a few years ago. x
Beautiful choice of fabric! I love this pattern on everyone I see.. I have it ready to cut out. Your top is lovely too.

Your skirt is lovely! I’ve got couple of yards of the same NaniIro fabric in green and plan to make a jacket. But seing your skirt, I might change my mind 😉 Congrats to the photographers for the amazing pictures!
