This is the first skirt - the first cloth - I ever sewed. The lining is horrible, so I don't show you (nearly got crazy) ;) I can proudly say that I ignored the swatch completely, maybe next time. But I'm really confident and proud of it! It'll feel so good to walk in the streets with clothes I sewed on my own! Excuse my bad photos, but I'm so excited posting my first skirt ;) There will be better photos when I'll show you the matching Steffi-jacket! Of course I shortened the pattern and added a slit so that I'll be able to walk.
Edit: I added some high-quality pictures ;)

der Rock ist echt schön geworden!
I love it! The fit is great, and while you said the lining isn't great, the outside is finished nicely! I'd certainly wear it.
nice job! your alexis fit you very well!
It looks very good, I wouldn't have guessed it's your first! Nice choice of fabric too.
well, nobody will see that lining, so don't worry! great is, that facing side looks great! i like your creation very much.
Very nicely fitted, and the fabric is really wonderful! Good job!
It looks very nice, much better than the Alexis I'm currently struggling with. I can't wait to see the Steffi jacket you make. That is my next project I think. Wonderful job!
Thank you for your nice comments. Sewing is so much fun, especially when other people like the creations, too! :)
Kimmysue: Keep on struggling ;) In the end your Alexis skirt will look great, I think!
I would love to see the Stefi jacket! I've heard other people talk about the Stefi jacket,, and I've also seen pics of it here on BurdaStyle - where do you find the pattern to this jacket?
The pattern for the Steffi jacket is there: http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/show/19
I'll post my version soon, just need someone, who'll take nicer pictures of me than those above ;)
Wow i love it. I want to make a skirt too. I'm a complete novive myself and i'm so glad i found this site. U did so well at your first attempt, u must have atural talent.
Love it! Way better than the pic in the pattern mag
the fabric is very nice and i think you made it very well... congragulations for your job... i am trying to fit the zip of my first skirt and will upload... so i realised that, if you are trying to do something for the first time, it is not so easy like everybody says. :) see you :)
This is really good for your first skirt, i love the style, especially the button on the side. Really well done!! I'd definately wear this.
Oh awesome, I'm sewing an Alexis in a similar print but it's not wool. Yours looks great! I'll have to do a wool one too.
