I've caved... I used to think I hated grey on me... that it didn't match my colors... but I've found that I've changed my mind. I love grey now. I love it as a contrast to my colors, and it really does set a good red orange off perfectly... anyway... I found a beautiful warm medium weight wool at
JoAnne's and bought it with a coupon to make
Butterick 5249,
et voila!
It was, by far, the most complicated skirt pattern I've ever attempted. I'm a little nervous about making fitted, zip-up skirts because of my apple body shape issues, but this turned out fine, I think! See how nice it looks with my orange purse! Hmmm... not exactly a fashion model, but...
Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLook how beautiful you are! And your skirt too :) You are such a great seamstress Melissa, I am constantly amazed at what you create! I love that skirt...wanna make another?? :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never would have looked at that pattern and thought, "Hmm, I should make that," but when I see it on you it makes me want one! Beautiful skirt, beautiful sweater, beautiful pop of orange, and beautiful Melissa. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really turned out pretty! I need to make a run to JoAnns soon I may be looking at some of that grey now!
ReplyDeleteHa! Feel free to stroke my ego any time! Anyway, since my love language is words of affirmation, I'm feelin' really loved right now! Thanks gals!
ReplyDeleteReally like your skirt !! You look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know how I LOVE grey so I'm kind of biased about the color. Sis, you look great in this skirt and I love the pocket details/pleats! bellisimo!!!
