It reminds me of my new black pencil skirt and I love it to death!<br /> I have a picture in this post:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bella-dc" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bella-dc</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-215175 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 01:49:47 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 215175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn - I mean I want to sew all three!

So have you decided to do that one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-214999 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 18:58:31 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 214999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up another pattern this weekend at Joann's pattern sale:</p> <p><a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-5251-misses-skirts.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplicity.com/p-52.....kirts.aspx</a></p> <p>I think view B (bottom right) looks very Anthro with the pocket ruffles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211632 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:37:35 +0000 rute 211632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this kind of skirts are very in.. but I don't like them much.. I would prefer a tulip skirt like the ones mamapicklejuice suggested! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211545 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:38:36 +0000 Dusty 211545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both options; the cargo pocket skirt will be easier both to construct and fit, so I guess it depends on your skill level and the goal of the class. If you're on the beginner end of the spectrum, then the first option might work better, but if you're looking for a challenge and working on fit, the I'd go for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211533 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:22:11 +0000 Kyle 211533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely like the tulip skirt...trickier to sew no doubt. Very chic. I just made a skirt myself this weekend. Just something summery and simple. Also made two fabric flower brooches and finished a quilt. Yeah, love the tulip. Fit will be key. Let us know how complex it is...and do show us the end result! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211390 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:06:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 211390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have another option - a tulip skirt with wide waistband done up in a gorgeous soft wool plaid.</p> <p>Picture #4 is my inspiration photo (skirt done in a plaid) and you can kind of see my fabric underneath. dark gray with camel and wine plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211373 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:40:49 +0000 kellygirl 211373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't sew anymore so I can't offer any input on newer patterns but I think that Vogue classic skirt is very cute. Love your idea of making it with a military vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211369 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:26:41 +0000 Kate 211369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be great, and fit in well with the military trend! I think it could also look good with the other (non-cargo) pockets if you want something less hefty at the hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-skirt-for-sewing-class#post-211366 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:14:59 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 211366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have stashed patterns for so long, I no longer know whether anything is stylish anymore. Adding to that is the fact the Vogue pattern I've linked to below is a "vintage" out of print pattern to begin with. (I think it's 70s or 80s?).</p> <p>I was thinking about doing version B (knee length with cargo style pockets and military type buttons). The fabric swatch in photo 2 is a lightweight olive sheen woven. </p> <p>I would be VERY grateful for any thoughts on this, and of course, if you sew and know of a cute but simple pattern, I'm all over it.</p> <p>PS Do people consider this type of post "off topic" or is it better suited to "dressing"? </p>
