Take a look at some examples here: http://www.pinterest.com/nof39/1950s-vintage-border-print-novelty-skirts/. <br /><br />I haven't yet sewn any up because I am nervous cutting into that luscious vintage fabric (got at a great price, but it is so special), but maybe by next spring or summer I will dare it.
