In the spirit of the last post I had just finished a skirt this morning so in a hope to inspire you into stitching thought I would give a brief run down here. It was actually a construction from bits of spare fabric left over after I had cut out my fabric for the post baby wardrobe so I especially pleased that I managed to get an extra skirt and if I get creative I'll get a couple more items so even more frugal.
I used view c but made it a bit longer as i prefer a slightly longer than knee length skirt. Its a very simple a line pattern and I think the waistband yoke makes it both a comfy wear with a flattering shape (esp for post preggers belly). I love the Boden style of bold applique and the green velvet was ideal.
The rest of the herringbone tweed is on its way to becoming trousers and the brown will be the underskirt to my lace avoca style skirt in the same pattern. I just need to find some cream velvet ribbon and raid my button tin for some embellishments.
I've also almost finished a really nice little jacket which has been a joy to sew and I feel a brilliant choice for those of you taking those first few steps into the world of stitching your own wardrobe, so more of that in a couple of days
