Skirts

I still have not got the hang of this, but I'll try again. I was able to make a few skirts this summer. A white pencil skirt. Not sure if it was a good idea to make a fitting white skirt. It can have the tendacy of making you much larger than you want to look, but I needed it. I used McCall pattern 5590 Pencil Skirt

The fabric I had in my stash for a long time so I don't remember what it is, but it resembles a cotton twill. I cut a size 16 and tapered to a 14 (for the sexy). The skirt was a breeze to make, this is actually my 3rd skirt from this pattern. I made 2 other black skirts but in different lengths. One day I'll try to post them so you can see the differences. I guess this has become my TNT pattern for skirts. (Excuse the mess in the background I forgot to crop it out).

The other skirt was a Vogue 8606. This fabric also was from my stash. I'm not sure which fabric I had longer. This fabric is a black and off White stripe I believe Cotton but you are unable to see the stripes in the pictures. I made my skirt a little shorter as it is summer. This was also very quick and easy. I will probably make another skirt with this pattern but I think I want to do an exposed zipper. That seems to be the fashion now.

I have a few more skirts for the summer to show, will take pictures and post later.

Later!
