Carrying on with my S.W.A.P sewing for myself, a red linen skirt using
New Look 6511. I made view B which is a *lot* shorter than I thought it would be. It hits just above my knee and I'm very glad I forgot to shorten the pattern before sewing as I usually do (short legs you see) as I'm definitely past wearing mid thigh skirts! The red linen and buttons came from stash and I used an invisible zip in the side seam instead of messing around with a lapped zipper.
I love the shaped front yoke, that's the detail that originally sold me on this pattern.
The back has two more tabs for the self fabric belt and a straight yoke. The front could really do with three belt carriers, it rides up at the sides. I will no doubt forget I said that when I make it again.
that one turned out very cute. Love that fabric
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute skirt and I like the shape of the yoke on it as well.
ReplyDeleteOh that is SO cute!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe an extra belt carrier on each side, just in front of the side seam? That would space them fairly evenly around the skirt, while leaving the side seam/zipper area untouched. Having four tabs across the front instead of two or three would leave the center front free to tie the tie belt. :-)
