Pod Posey Skirt

The Posey Skirt is finished!

On to the details: I used Michael Miller's "Pod Posey" fabric and Kwik Sew pattern #3372 in a size medium. I really like the shaped yoke band of this skirt because of its good fit. This pattern could be sewn up in many variations, and I plan to make it again.

My tall son took the pictures of me, and I think his angle makes me look a bit like a munchkin. :-)

Last week I found this green blouse on the clearance rack and bought it, taking a chance that it would match the green in the skirt fabric. I think it matches just about right...what do you think?






The brown tee in this next picture is Kwik Sew pattern #2694, modified. I changed the wrap front to a plain front, but I kept the mid-bodice seam. I don't think you can see the details in the picture, but I used my coverstitch machine to topstitch.

I don't have any immediate plans for my next sewing project. The next few weeks will be occupied by graduations and graduation parties. I need to get out of my sewing room and off the computer and spend some time cleaning the house. Any volunteers helpers? I need you!

  2. That is a darling skirt, Ruth. I like both tops, too. I am in the same graduation theme, I have been spring-cleaning a room a night after I get home from work. Good luck with your cleaning.

    Ruth,
    The skirt came out beautiful with the fabric you had shown in a previous post. I think the green shirt matches wonderfully and no, you don't look like a munchkin. You look fabulous!
