Honestly, the titles of my posts are becoming more mundane by the day. I need another theme!
Anyway, I made another pencil skirt following the sloper I made using So Sew Easy’s wonderful tutorial.
Not a lot to say about this skirt really. It fits me better than the green one as I finally decided that my waist isn’t as fat as I always think it is, so made it the proper size – although it could be even tighter – I might have to adjust the block a bit.
I didn’t use an invisible zip as I didn’t have one the right colour in my stash, whereas I have so many regular zips of every length and hue (my mother’s collection is substantial and she donated it to me). In fact, going through the zip pile I can almost trace the history of zips, I’ve certainly have some that were pre-plastic.
I had been sitting in it all day at work, so it’s a bit creased at the back, but the vent worked well. This was my one addition to the basic block. I must be more adventurous with what I do with it – next time methinks there will be pockets!
