This is my first skirt, i made it using 1.6 meters of wool fabric i found in a charity shop for £2!
It took a while to make sure that the pleats were all going the same way, but on the whole this project was easier that in was expecting. I’m quite proud of the result!

wow, I really like your version much better than the original one. I might make one for myself now that I see how nice it can turn out…

i love that this has some fancypants features, but is still subdued enough to wear all the time. good score on the fabric, too!
