From this book:
Out of these two fabrics:
The fabric on the left is a nice teal colored wool and the fabric on the right is a polyester I'll use for the lining. The pattern doesn't call for a lining, but since it's wool - I'll need one because me and wool just don't get along in close proximity to each other so a lining is a must.
I've already cut out the pieces and marked them with tailors tacks and pinned on notes to each piece telling me what it is. I can see this could get very confusing in the construction process without those notes. Here's the front:
And here are the two back pieces:
I actually purchased this book just for this pattern so I'm hoping it will be a winner. I'm a huge fan of asymmetrical clothing and usually the stranger the pattern, the more I like it. This one kinda looks like ocean waves so far. Now - it's time to get sewing on it! Wish me luck everyone!
Happy sewing!

I remember this skirt on the programme. Its always nice to have a lining, wool fabric or no! And this will look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. I'm looking forward to making it and wearing it!
DeleteIt looks amazing so far! I am allergic to wool so I never buy it. However, I've seen a sewing instructor recommend a lining for those that have wool a version. I don't get anything serious, just really itchy. I will have to try that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa!
DeleteOh, I remember that skirt. It's going to be an interesting make. And wool, yes, lining or a petticoat needed.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Very interesting make indeed!
