Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is for my autumn collection. It was so easy to make. And then my brother said it was old-fashioned and granny-like. I hate when he does that because he always alters my judgment. Anyway, can’t we wear things from the past, not everything has to be modern. Right?
Material Notes
Wool, Gingham for lining

and btw old things are the greatest. i love vintage or vintage feeling especially cos we are living in such a fast world-back then things were made to last a lot longer than these days. this is something we need to learn again. have your own mind-what do brothers know about style????

Adorable and looks very warm and comfy :) My (now ex) once told me my favorite pants looked like hospital scrubs but I still love them and he’s history ;)

Well I think it looks great! My sister’s boyfriend told me that my favourite skirt I’d made looked like a waitress’ apron, this changed my opinion of it too… but it didn’t stop me loving it and wearing it all the time!!!

it’s okay, my sister calls me “old grandma” all the time. I’m still in college! I like to wear skirts like this all the time, and making it out of wool is a good idea! It’s very classy.

It is a pretty skirt. It liked to make one of this to myself but I do not have the certainty if this model is adjusted to my figure

I like it! I bet it’s super warm and comfy. Plus you can twirl in it!
