The second of the trio of circle skirts completed two weeks ago from #Simplicity1200. This one is much more muted and office worthy as compared to my cupcake skirt. This is the softest cotton fabric and it has a fabulous drape. I made a matching bias for the hem and there is a side lapped zipper.
I found this coral colored cardigan at a local thrift store several weeks ago, with the tags still on! It just happened to be the perfect shade to match the flowers in the skirt. I love it when things just work out! The cardigan is light and works well for spring and summer in the office.
There really isn't much more to say about the construction that I didn't already discuss in the last post, but I think this is my favorite of the skirts so far.
This is #vintagepledge number 8 so far this year! I'm thinking I can easily double, maybe even triple, my original pledge of five this year!
Thanks for stopping by!
What a find with the cardigan. It is a perfect match. I really like this skirt and you look great in it. How cool to have three different ones. I only have one vintage pledge to go too so may make over my total as well. It is a good motivator isn't it? Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a great motivator and since the challenge isn't limited to actual vintage pattern, but reproductions as well it really makes it easy.
DeleteThat's lovely. I'm just getting back into sewing myself and always love a vintage inspired pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise! I love when I can find modern patterns that really read vintage. It means I can scoop them up on sale and not have to pay vintage pattern prices!
