My last version of this skirt stretched out over time and I donated it in the last big wardrobe cleanout. For a skirt I didn't wear that often I've really missed having it.
This pattern needs bugger all fabric, I squeezed this out of just over 1m of denim leftover from a pair of jeans. This denim is thicker than my first version and sits a bit stiffer but it wears well and I know it will soften up with a few more washes.
I made the skirt a pull-on, not just because I'm obsessed with pull on bottoms at the moment, but the first waistband stretched out at least a couple of sizes and at least with an elastic waistband I don't have to worry about that happening again!
Pattern details;
Size 18
Tilted waist adjustment - removed 2" from front rise
Changed the vent from the front to the back
I really love the vent on this pattern, very easy to sew and sits really nicely while wearing.
Gosh, such a nice skirt! Love your topstitching and vent finish. And that you moved the vent to the back. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice skirt. It looks so good on you. I like that there is no fly front - as much as I like them on others, it never sits well on me.
ReplyDeleteOh of course I mean a working fly front.
ReplyDeleteCute skirt! The vent detail is really nice!
ReplyDeleteI thought wow you've made another denim skirt, nice! Then I scroll down and saw that you'd made it a pull on skirt and I was like dayum! I have to copy this...this is just awesome! Seriously AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute! Love the vent in the back.
ReplyDeleteI love this and am really loving all the pull on bottoms around at the moment. So easy and no pesky fly front flopping open - but nobody is the wiser. The pockets and the vent stitching - absolutely fabulous! g
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous skirt! I love the vent detail. Looks good on you; very flattering.

ReplyDeleteHad to tell you that I loved this skirt and pattern so much that I found the pattern on eBay! Can't wait to make a version of your skirt!
