I made this skirt very quickly from heavy weight knit fabrics and a self drafted pattern. I love the combination of fabrics. It is very comfortable and looks quite well with my red t-shirt (also self drafted) and short leather jacket. I particularly like the deep pockets and invisible zip on the centre back seam. I've been wearing the skirt all day, so the waistband looks a little wrinkled...oh well.
Next up, I'm making a Jalie scarf collar top 2921 in a purple knit. I also am ready to cut my Chanel jacket. My sewing guild group is doing fitting and construction workshops with Angie Zimmerman, who will be well known to readers of Australian Stitches. At last I've learned how to do a full bust adjustment. Looking at this photo you can see why I need one!
Oh, I love this skirt! I have a purple slinky knit in my queue to become a Jalie scarf top. I must join the Stitcher's Guild as I keep hearing about these wonderful events that I miss out on. I may be the only member in my area, though. I'm thinking of coming to Sydney in the next week or two, so maybe we can get together?
