Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my spring bouquet jenny skirt made for the Colette’s Spring Palette Challenge. My colors are hot pink, dove grey, and black and this skirt fits two of the three. I have more images and details on my blog zilredloh
My mods: I completely eliminated the front darts, because I was getting that hollow-look where they ended and instead I have lots of small gathers, which are nearly invisible (hopefully). To help reduce the amount of fabric to gather, I re-cut the front pattern piece to be narrower at the waist, and taper down to the hip where the dart would have ended; all while keeping the same hip shape as the back pattern piece.
I shortened the back darts about 1", and I’ve significantly shortened the overall length of the skirt as well since I’m such a shorty.
