This project was inspired by a skirt I saw in Look magazine about 2 weeks ago, called the Pepcil ( A pencil skirt with a peplum) Newlook patterns were on sale so I thought I’d give the Pepcil a go since it retails at £45 in Asos. The skirt was easy to make and the instructions were straight forward.
I do apologise for the bad quality pictures, I will try and buy a better camera.
