Intentionally Mismatching Fabrics (on an Evelyn Skirt)

My friend Shari (see Happy Chickadee) and I were discussing fabric the other day and my "made-up" advice was that if you coordinate a bunch of fabrics that don't match, sometimes it works, because it looks intentional. 


This is another Evelyn skirt I made last night. The fabrics coordinate just enough. This is a gift for my friend's daughter Beaux. Happy Birthday Beaux!


I attached matching yo-yos to a store bought t-shirt. Sorry for the long shadows.....it was really early morning when I photographed it!


See my previous Evelyn Skirt post for pattern info and yo-yo tutorial links! This is such an easy pattern and great for beginners.
