Skirts Ahoy

Melbourne has put on some summer weather this week, so I thought it was time to get into sweat shop mode.

A super lovely person bought me this gorgeous Clothkits skirt a while back. The fabric panel sat on a shelf, washed and ironed, for far too long. I finally cut it on Sunday night, and sewed it up today.

I'm delighted with it!

Before sewing it up, I traced a pattern from the pieces. I figured if I liked the fit, it would be a simple A-line pattern to have on hand. Needless to say, I liked the fit, and made myself another! This time I made one from an upholstery weight fabric - perfect for the cooler months :) I can barely even try it on in this heat!

Oh well, at least I have the perfect skirt for next winter!
