Math Rebel Trigonometry Skirt
A very simple skirt that I made using the fabric that I designed and had printed at Spoonflower. The skirt is a simple a-line design. Instead of including the yoke and a zipper, I made a facing to encase a wide elastic band.
The trigonometry fabric is knit, so I stretched it slightly along the bottom edge and tightened it a tad at the upper edge to accommodate the a-line shape. I finished the hem with bias tape.
The skirt itself is a smokey gray cotton. The trig fabric is a faded black, so the two together work nicely. I added a little pocket with the sine graph, which is convenient for holding mechanical pencils and other such mathematical things.
My next project will be to design more math fabric but with a bit more color and more useful equations....I'm thinking the quadratic equation and a collections of graphs with their functions. I am getting my inspiration from the successes and struggles of my Math 3 class at SHS. Love that class!!!!
Yes, it's nerdy...but being a math teacher, it is how I roll!
