As promised, the straight skirt made to go with my
new green top. This skirt pattern is a favorite because the fit is great and it's super easy to make up. I took out the back seam and put the invisible zipper on the left side.
The fabric is a stretch sateen bought from
JoAnn's. I just loved the colors in it.
I sew bias tape along the facing edge and the side seams. I use sew the non zipper side seam as a french seam, but realized this would be hard to alter if I were to go up or down a size. I'm still working on loosing that 8 pounds I gained around Christmas of last year, so need to be able to take it in.
Up next is a skirt from February's
Burda magazine,
107 B. I'm having a few issues with its unflattering wide pleats. Not sure why I loved this skirt in the magazine so much...

This is a very kewl outfit! I love the colors you chose for it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabric of both the skirt and the top, and how well they fit together! Those colors fit you very well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous outfit!!
ReplyDeleteNice combo. The colours and print works well without being too loud.
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable. Skirt looks great with your new top.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are really in love with that top now, cause it looks fantastic with that skirt!!! Good luck with the BWOF, too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty outfit, cute fabric for the skirt.
ReplyDeleteFabulous outfit! I was in my closet today and realized that I need more "outfits". Nothing goes with anything! The bright side - an excuse to sew!
ReplyDeleteI have that exact fabric that I too made a skirt from, now I just need the top!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully sewn!
ReplyDeleteGood looking outfit!!
ReplyDeleteIf you have 8 pounds to loose, I don't know where they are! Your skirt looks great with your new green top. Don't you love stretch sateen? I bought some for a skirt and I can't wait to sew it up.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love simple patterns in fun prints.
ReplyDeleteNice outfit! The two look great together.
ReplyDeleteFabulous outfit. Your finishing is always professional looking.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! I love seeing your creations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outfit - very fresh!
ReplyDeleteGreat combo. So glad you persevered on the top. It looks great with the skirt. As for the Burda skirt, it looks like you have to wafer thin to wear that style. And you're thin! So you'll be able to pull it off. Go for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat combo! Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. Your outfit looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVERY cool outfit!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely. I wish I could sew!
