Skirt

Last weekend and week was very busy, with a lovely Sinterklaas day last Sunday. Kbenco, how nice that you made your children speculaas. We had that too, it really belongs to the tradition (as are chocolate letters and ‘banketstaaf’, a pastry with almond paste in it).
There was not time for sewing till last night and I finished my skirt (except for a button and buttonhole). It really fits well, but I think it’s a tadd too short for me. I’ll try to add pictures on me later and I’ll do a review with a bit more construction details. All in all it’s not a difficult skirt, the hem is gathered and attached to the shorter lining, creating a special hemline with a balloon (?) effect.
   
ETA: picture of me wearing the skirt. It would definitely have been better if it was longer.


I’m taking a break from blogging till the end of the year. It’s a very busy time and I feel that I need to take some rest. If I’m getting to some sewing I’ll show you results later.


I wish you all a very good holiday season!

  20. It looks really nice! I don't think the length is bad at all. Have a Happy New Year!

  21. You have good legs so can wear that length, but if you're a tad uncertain opaque tights might be worth a try. Works for me.
    Love the skirt!
