Minor blog break there, as not long after my last post I was offered a full time job. This is a big life change, as previously I had only been doing some very part time work from home. It also created a bit of a wardrobe crisis, as my occupation previous to this was jeans and tee-shirt casual.
I needed to come up with some skirts and more work appropriate clothing quick!
Based on the review by Michelle of Happily Caffeinated, I decided to give the Julep skirt by SBCC patterns a go.
This was a super quick sew - essentially centre back seam, side seams, yoga waistband and hem.
I picked a ponte for my first skirt as it was winter when I made it. As you can see, it has a slight dipped back hem. I used a cotton lycra for the waistband for a bit of insurance.
Buoyed by the success of this first one, I then made a second in a blue printed ponte. No pic on me, but a pic of the two of them together.
I love them, they re quite stylish and secretly so comfortable. That's got to be a winning combo!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your skirts look great! It was so nice to be able to make this skirt right off of the PDF without having to shorten it!
