Skirt Report, Part 3

"What's a fabric like you doing in a place like this?" I didn't say it, but I thought it!

In a pretty little quilt shop by the sea, surrounded by shabby chic and pretty floral prints. And in the middle of a shelf was this:
Black sequinned, lycra, multicoloured glossy synthetic bling on a bolt.

E loved it and metre of it came home with me to be the flounce on the next incarnation of the skirt with attitude.

I'll find a basic black for the main part of the skirt and the bit of lycra-stretch won't matter for the flounce as long as I pin it nice and securely, and stitch it carefully.
