Perfect-fit pencil skirt
I started this before I bought all those patterns last weekend... I've made pencil skirts before, from simple patterns, but I bought this "Amazing Fit" pattern to try it out with a more custom fit (I have slim hips and pencil skirts are often a little wide). This one has different pieces for slim, average, and curvy figures.
Here's how it turned out!
It is fun to wear a basic style, like a slim skirt, in a fun color or fabric! To pair with solids in black, tan, grey, whatever... and it was fun to use an Amazing Fit pattern!
Looks fabulous! Great job! Was the pattern easy?
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern too! I'm curvy with big hips and smaller waist and found this pattern so easy to alter to fit. It came together really quickly as well. Thanks for reminding me about it, I need to make a few more. I love the colors in your fabric!
ReplyDeleteLooks very nice. I love plaid!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just bought this pattern - now I need to find some awesome plaid wool as well!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, very smart.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great skirt! Looks like a good one to style many different ways and will go with many different colored tops. I love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat little versatile skirt.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to go out and get that pattern so I can make a curvy model or two. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I always have trouble with pencil skirts as i have a small waist compared to my hips, so this might be a good one to try.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt looks great.
ReplyDeleteI have a small waist and wide hips (relatively), so I think I'll check this pattern out for the curvy cut.
Thanks.

Oh! I bought this pattern too! Skirt patterns have always been way too curvy for me. Was it a pretty simple pattern? I have stepped away from sewing for myself for awhile because I struggle with getting the fit right, but this makes me think I can get back to it and not have the same stuff everyone else has!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! I love the pattern and the fabric :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! Well done. I totally want to make one now.
ReplyDeleteVery nice look!
ReplyDeleteyou have a very nice blog
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt. I've also used that pattern and was really happy with the results. Amazing fit patterns really are what they say they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was super easy. Definitely worth a try!!
I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, very smart.
