Gay because it's rainbow, geddit?

Oh bad.

Well this thing nearly killed me. I went completely insane. I saw a tutorial on the internet for one of these and then on a whim I decided I wanted one.
Now these things are normally for little girls, and I can see why. You go insane if you try and make one for a full-sized one.

To give you an idea of how headachey this was to make:
- most of the fabric is stash fabric, but a lot of it was plain so I painted and drew on quite a few of the squares. Most of the striped pieces are painted that way
- The tiers go like this:
Red: 14 squares
Yellow: 21 squares
Green: 32 squares
Blue/Turquoise: 48 squares
Indigo: 62 squares

There is no orange tier because getting lots of different shades of orange would be a) expensive and b) impossible. There's no purple tier because I HATE purple after being in a purple house for 5 years and being assaulted with purple.

The bottom hem measures 682 cm! It's a circle...and somehow I think the work was worth it. But I doubt I'll make one of these for a VERY long time.

Yeah, haha, there are ways to make the sewing of this quicker but they a) require hardcore machines I don't have and b) require elastic, which costs money!
I saw one of these patchwork skirts in the record/CD/music/merch store near where I am. It also sells vintage stuff, but it's WAY too expensive, like $40 for a pair of shorts or $65 for a basic dress. And it wasn't even very full, and it had a shitty elastic waist. I was like "mine's bettteeeeerr"
Most of the fabric from this is scrap, and I love playing around with dyes/paint/fabric pens. I'm so cheap, ahaha.
