You can't really tell from the photos, but the buttons are navy and pearly white. I LOVE navy and orange together, especially if you throw in some white!

| Ginger skirt by Colette Patterns, version 1 |
I am SO happy with my finished skirt. I'm glad I did this version first rather than the one cut on the bias. Now that I know it is successful, I feel a lot better about cutting into my lovely bow fabric!
This was the very first time I altered a pattern to my measurements, and the fit is perfect. I can't wait to make lots more of these. The cut is so flattering, it makes me look much slimmer than I actually am!
It was also the first time I inserted piping into a seam, and only the second time I've done an invisible zipper. I made myself go slowly and carefully, and was successful with both:
I think I could even wear them together!
You made such good use of your Calmer stash, it's all perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to make a smashing outfit.

Your piped skirt is PERFECT ! !
I admire your knack for knitting garments. They always look the perfect fit, with nary a stitch out of place.
So looking forward to your next piped skirt project, Gail.
Bought some clear glitter polish to tone down the dark blue nails :^)

Girlfriend, I love your taste and talent! So, so cute!! A thyme lemonade would go well with that outfit :)
ReplyDeleteOooh! Great FO's. Looking forward to the modeled shots too.
ReplyDeleteWow I love the skirt! I just bought the pattern, and was looking up pictures of it made in prints, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! I've actually worn this one quite a bit!
