Two new skirt projects

Time to brush off the old sewing machine to start making skirts for the belly dancing. There's not really a rush, but I am always anxious to start new projects (and always lazy when it comes to finishing them). Anyway, two entirely different skirts await me.

First is a blue crushed-velvet skirt to match my new Turkish costume. It is going to look something like this:

I can't decide if I want two slits on each side (pictured) or just one slit.

The other skirt project is a plain circle skirt. I got the pattern from Seher. She has a ton of leftover purple fabric from a troupe costume. I am going to make one and so is Millie. Then everyone in Khahari will have the same purple skirt.

The skirt is similar to the one below, but not as sheer. I am not sure what type of fabric I am using, but it is a lightweight synthetic. Eventually, I'll make a silk skirt with a matching veil...eventually.
