Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My own version of the Michelle skirt. I’m not completely excited. I made it a size too big… I did that so it would be lower on my hips, but its a little too low :)
Material Notes
grey fabric with purple and black stripes (no idea what type of fabric it is) + dark purple velvet ribbon, purple buttons
Difficulty
Novice

Thank you for the nice comments! I wore the skirt to work yesterday and got some very nice reactions. I’m not used to wearing this type of skirt, so I was a bit sceptical. But now I’m loving it!

Love it, I printed & cut this pattern last year but have no fabric to work with. Yours are awesome.
