Simplicity 2226. What can I say but I love this pattern! It is so easy to sew, but yet it has so
many great details--the pockets, belt loops, curved waistband, tie
sash, and to top it off, it's cute!
The fabric I used is a rayon challis with a lovely drape. To avoid needing a slip, I did line the skirt with batiste. Also, I used
an invisible zipper instead of a regular zipper. Oh, and I made the
fabric tie, but I didn't get pictures of it. I've worn the skirt with a
belt instead, but it's nice to have the option of the tie.
I have seen variations of this skirt pattern all over blogland and on Pinterest, and liked what I saw. So when Simplicity patterns went on sale, I bought the pattern and made the skirt. Later, when cleaning my sewing room, I found that I already owned the pattern, hidden under a pile of fabric.
Happy sewing,
Ruth

ReplyDeleteLooks like a cute versatile pattern. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute skirt! I am a teacher who has been wearing jeans and other pants for so long that when I looked into my closet for a skirt all I found were a couple from 20 years ago that went to my ankles! I decided this summer to sew myself a skirt or two and that looks like just the pattern to do it! I don't need the pattern (I can get it @ JoAnn's on sale too this week) but I just wanted to say I love the skirt!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And as a beginner, doesn't look too bad. Thanks for the giveaway!
