Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve taken the leap with sewing knits, and it’s awesome. I made this half-circle skirt in a stable navy blue cotton jersey. Here I paired it with a top I made from vintage polyester knit. The shirt is a RTW knock-off that I’ll mostly wear with jeans since it’s so long. This skirt is incredibly versatile and works well with many tops I already have in my closet (some are pictured here). Gotta love that.
See more on my blog.
Material Notes
Navy blue cotton jersey, no closures. “Tomato red” polyester knit, no closures.

yay for knits! I’ve yet to take the plunge but think I’m maybe one project away ;) You did a great job and I love the colour combination.
