Description
Even though I went through heck** to get the pattern printed out I was able to make this skirt in about 24 hours once I had it and I can happily say that It was worth all the effort and then some.
I love love LOVE my fabric, pink with grey and brown hounds-tooth wool which I purchase with my matching pink lining all for $18, SCORE!
I had a pink 9" zipper in my stash and I got to make excellent use of my brand new serger (something else I also love love LOVE).
With time of the essence and practicality on my mind I stuck to the basic instructions, and I am thrilled with the results. My only caveat is that I ran out of daylight and help to take pictures, so I had to make use of many lamps and my tripod. I think you’ll get the idea.
**heck:
1) Extract each PDF file as a separate PDF.
2) Open re save each page as a PNG.
3) Open and print each PNG.
4) Copy/resize each page to make the test square = 10cm.
(FYI, this includes some basic 7th grade algebra and fractions…. just sayin)
Material Notes
Wool Houndstooth, Nylon lining, 1 invisible zipper

LOVE THIS! The pink houndstooth is a rare and fabulous find and totally makes this skirt. And do I spy a pretty handknitted kerchief? Did you make it? It’s beautiful. If you did, will you tell me which pattern?

Oh, thank you for your kind words!
Yes, I knit the shawl/kerchief as well. It’s from Knit.1 magazine…. I think spring 2008. I blogged it and the details are on my ravelry page. The magazine version is pink also. It was such an easy pattern. I definitely recommend it.

I love all your fabric choices, you seem to pick up the funkiest prints and weaves and you choose what to turn them in to so well, I love seeing your new projects when you post them. This skirt suits you so well, I love how comfy it is to wear with the yoke :)

Fabric choice makes all the difference I think. The more I like the fabric, the more I like the garment. Thank you for the lovely compliments! I love seeing your projects as well.

DAMN that is some gorgeous serger action.

I’m jealous of your serger! Those seam finishings look super fine!

If I said granny chic, would you take it amiss? Because I think it’s absolutely fantastic, and I love granny chic.

Not at all :) Granny chic is fine by me, so thank you for the stylistic compliment!
