I like it with the white jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019813 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 22:11:49 +0000 Lantana 1019813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just read that this is the striped maxi upcycled. Fantastic job, Ami, what a transformation. As a skirt it has boodles of style. Do you have white tops to play with? Not the most practical, I know, but white would be smashing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019782 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 20:25:02 +0000 shedev 1019782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019689 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 17:22:35 +0000 lyn* 1019689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous team Pre-Wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019683 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 17:09:55 +0000 Marley 1019683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woa!&nbsp; I am soooo&nbsp; impressed!&nbsp; You have such amazing skills!&nbsp; This looks really, really good Amy!&nbsp; The length is perfect - and the blue is a great color to pair it with.&nbsp; I''m wondering - is the blue top cut straight across the bottom - or does it have "tails" - or is it a hi-low?&nbsp; I'm thinking about a top that you could perhaps semi-tuck in front and let hang down in back?&nbsp; Also, I really like the white jacket with it - and I agree with the others who suggest to scrunch those sleeves.&nbsp; You could wear this skirt as a neutral - pair almost any color with it - and perhaps even some white with black polka-dots pattern mixing?&nbsp; That might be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019627 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:51:08 +0000 amiable 1019627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! &nbsp;</p> <p>Cobalt - I cut up a maxi dress from target for the fabric - it's a mid-weight drapey jersey with good recovery. &nbsp;My guess is that it's a cotton-poly blend, but I didn't actually look at the tag before cutting into it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019615 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:38:35 +0000 Angie 1019615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed. You look amazing in that skirt, Amy. Gorgeous with slubby sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019603 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:24:54 +0000 rae 1019603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Homemeade tube skirt? So awesome! It looks perfect, and I love the blue top with it. Like the idea of scrunching jacket sleeves or a cropped jacket. Or maybe even a very thin cotton anorak? I liked the white necklace, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019597 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:18:27 +0000 cobaltblue 1019597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab skirt! Did you buy your fabric locally or order online. This may be a project I need to tackle, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019591 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:09:08 +0000 Suz 1019591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are indomitable as well as amiable!

I love the length and tapering. I think you should tuck in the shirt when wearing with the white jacket. You look lovely in blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019503 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:29:59 +0000 Anonymous 1019503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is going to be so great -- I predict you will be grabbing it all the time! I need to get mine sewn up. I can't wait for cooler weather. It's back to school, I want to wear my fall clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019447 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 03:44:53 +0000 amiable 1019447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Debora, Joy and Beth Ann -&nbsp;</p> <p>Deborah, black looked better with it, but felt too dark - it's still summer, and today was the first day under 95F in a week (I think it was still around 90). &nbsp;I like the scrunching sleeves idea, Beth Ann - I'll try that next time.</p> <p>And nope, no pattern. &nbsp;I just pinned the waist on me, and then sewed a rectangle. &nbsp;Then I tried it on, decided where I wanted it to start tapering and sewed again, a line up at a slant from the bottom (it's tapered in a bit over an inch on each side - so a total of nearly 5 inches removed). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019444 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 03:36:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1019444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice of fabric, shape and length for the skirt.&nbsp; And yes, I've worn things that are quite "finished." myself!</p> <p>P.S.&nbsp; Scrunching the sleeves on the jacket would look great!</p> <p>P.P.S.&nbsp; Did you use a pattern? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-the-gun#post-1019443 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 03:34:54 +0000 Anonymous 1019443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in awe of your sewing skills.
