Description

Plain old yoke skirt. I had to make an uneven yoke so that the opening would be wide enough to put on-take off.

Adding leather suede trim and pocket flap (no pocket-too lazy to do it) for fun, also the pocket flap helps balance the uneven yoke.

The yoke parts cut on staight grain, interfaced and lined with cotton to ensure the fit and comfort. Yoke’s pattern was trim on the sides about 1.5 cm each to ensure the fit as well.

The plaid skirt f&b cut on bias. Hem are frayed with seam ripper and sewn 2 stitched lines to stop the frayness in the future.

Note: Microsuede really looks like real thing and also acts as the real leather in term of stretchness, once stretched, you can’t take it back so handle with care.

Materials

Blue Plaid Microsuede Duvet Cover Suede trim (real leather) lining fabric, cotton (behide yoke, polyester- skirt part)

Thank you so much, very kind of you to say nicest things. I think opposite, it is you girls that are inspiring, without you, I might not do a thing.
