I was skirt planing when the first task in pattern review’s sewing bee contest arrived in the email, an A-line skirt, and as it happens I had already bought some black velvet the day before for exactly that purpose. So her it is the perfect skirt that goes with almost everything.
I used about 1.2m 112cm wide cotton velvet, 1m viscose lining, a normal zipper and scrapes of quilting cotton the the inside of the waistband, button on the inside to protect the zipper, as well as some light interfacing. The pattern is based on the Delphine skirt from Love at First Stitch but modified to give it the fit I like better. I lowered the waistband to sit over my high hip instead and reshaped the hips and added some waist shaping. The result is so comfortable that I don’t want to take it of and have already been wearing allot.
Åh vad snygg du är även i svart! Jättefina bilder.
Tack så jätte mycket.
en perfekt kjol! svart som går med allt, sammet för vinter och lite glamour…
Ja det kommer bli jätte bra i skolan, tillräckligt polerat men fortfarande bekvämt att både sitta länge och labba med.
This is a perfect skirt for every girl’s closet! I love the added luxe you achieved by using velvet to sew. It’s really quite special!
Thank you
This is a pretty skirt and I really like the outfit you’ve put together here. I always think of velvet as a “special occasion” fabric, but this skirt totally works for everyday wear. Great job!
Thank you
