My favourite skirt

I hadn't made a skirt in a looong time but when I saw pattern 133 in the February issue of Burda mag I knew I just had to have it! I adored the pleats, pockets and large belt and wanted one in... navy, of course. Well, for once I finally decided to go with my second favourite colour and made this:


It's a chartreuse green beautyyyyy! Hum, you can sort of see the colour better in the next pic:


Yes it's that bright but as long as I wear it with black, white or grey it's okay. So, I slightly altered the pattern by shortening it, gathering the back pieces instead of repeating the front pleats and adding belt loops. 
I even made a "bag" out of upholstery fabric to go with it -sigh, I must confess that I'm super snob when it comes to fashion and I'd rather carry my stuff in my hands than wear trendy things but I couldn't resist the appeal of the CLUTCH which is the most impractical container in the world but looks so good with the skirt!


I went the whole way and made a matching little purse and seeing it in the clutch made me stupidly happy :)

  1. Super cute! I'm going to have to look up that pattern in my own copy of Burda. :) I love the color you chose too. I love the clutch too ... they look so chic in photos but I'm sure that if I ever had one I'd leave it behind somewhere the first day I went out with it.
