Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None beside having to take it in so much, the 8 was the smallest size and was way too big on my waist.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love flowy skirts and I had this fabric in my stash for a long time and finally used it for this skirt. The pattern is super simple and you can make this skirt in an hour including cutting time.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will be making a few more and will be drafting pockets and also making them in a midi length too. Totally recommend this pattern.

Conclusion: I really like this skirt and the silk feels fantastic on my skin

Here are a few more pics and also a different look with my NY&CO silk top.

I know, I know I totally suck but things have just been out of control, lol. We moved back into the city because living in the boonies was NOT working for me! I have been trying to get settled and trying to fix up my sewing room so I can get busy; which btw, I have done. I have at least 5 new things to show but I need to get my camera working again.

On another note, I have been internet browsing for fall inspirations that will ultimately become knock offs, lol! and I love this new website www.inlovewithfashion.com they have some cute stuff I wanna copy like these:

I am going to fix my camera tonight so I can start taking pics of new wearable’s and have some updating to do on other stuff too!

xoxo,

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? N/A It did however look the way I imagined they would when I drafted them..lol

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this style of trouser, it is very flattering.

Fabric Used: I used a linen which I will prob not do again just because linen grows so much while you wear them. I think i would like them in a stiffer fabric too. Also, I wore them this morning to church so there are a few wrinkles in them which is another reason why I tend not to use linen that is not blended.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I knew the linen would be very lightweight and I wanted my hem to hang heavy and keep the inseam straight so I add 2″ of fusible interfacing to the hem and that worked like a charm.

Conclusion: I really like these and I am most proud of my pant pattern.

Im a huge fan and have sooooo many of his handbags etc.
