*Sorry, you are going to get this post again as something went awry and my text got cut off.
This skirt pattern has been in my stash for a long time and I don’t know why I haven’t made it before.
It is from 1977 and therefore falls into the “vintage sewing pattern pledge” category. A warning: the following photos are poor quality as they were taken with my iphone because I managed to leave my camera at work.
I made this from a waxed linen that I bought from Spotlight’s curtain department, and which was reduced down to less than $3 a metre. Can’t go wrong for that price. The colour was charcoal, but looking at it against black it seems to have some brown in it.
Now that’s a wrap worth keeping and having fun with. It’s really pretty too.
This is a vry flattering skirt, sue. It falls beautifully. I am even more intrigued by the bag. Lovely with the bright pink lining.
Thanks Rachel. The skirt is lovely because it’s cut on the bias but uses loads of fabric. The bag is already a favourite!
Sue, I was just in Spotlight yesterday looking at exactly these fabrics in the curtain dept…..thinking how great they and if only I could sew…..sew funny. The skirt is divine! Gabi
Thanks Gabi. Did you see the bag???
Love your skirt. It has a very flattering drape and it performed very well in the windy conditions.
Yes, I was pleased to test its ability to keep me covered!
