Well, I think I'll be wearing corduroy for a while still since there's still snow on the ground, but it's hard to imagine
sewing a corduroy skirt in March. Not when there's some lovely spring and summer fabrics to work with anyway!
Corduroy prints for grown-ups can be so hard to find. I love corduroy but I certainly don't want to look like a six-year-old when wearing it. I had to put in some serious ogling time to find these (window shopping online is
such hard work!)
Marcia's skirts:
 |
| I had to give this otherwise plain skirt a little sumthin sumthin |
Melissa's skirt:
 |
| from Vogue Fabrics |
 |
| This was fun! |
Bryn's pencil skirt:
 |
| I bought this from a de-stasher on Etsy - same fabric I used for my own skirt last year |
Lara's hidden pocket skirt:
 |
| I made a pencil skirt for Diane with this fabric last year (fabric.com) and had just enough leftover for another skirt |
Marides' gored skirt:
 |
| from JoAnn's! |
Jen's skirt:
 |
| another de-stasher on Etsy |
I hope I get this lucky next year!
This time of year is such a conundrum, sewing- (and knitting-) wise! I have a huge list of things I want to make for spring, but I really ought to be knocking out those last few winter projects while there's still time to wear them! What to do?! So little time, so much to do!
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm always want to make things that I can wear right away, but I should really get started on my longer projects ahead of time. I need dedicated pre-season sewing!
DeleteCute skirts.....are you lining the corduroy? This year I am actually thinking of sewing Spring/Summer clothes early, so I have something new ready to wear when the weather improves. We'll see how my plans work out LOL!
ReplyDeleteI always line corduroy unless a particular client doesn't want it. But I love linings - I even line my denim skirts! Good luck with your pre-season sewing!
DeleteI love the striped skirt where you changed the stripe at the hem. Such a cool design feature!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I think stripes are just begging to be turned this way and that!
DeleteSuper cute skirts! They aren't our grandmother's corduroy!!!
