This little skirt was made for Stella before I went away to Sewjourn.  Rachel gave me the lovely fabric the last time we were there – so I don’t think that it has languished in the stash for too long!

I made size 4 for Stella, but didn’t have quite enough fabric for the waistband – so I used different fabric! Let’s just call it a design feature. This pattern is wonderful – beautifully drafted; everything fits together exactly as it ought to and the way that the pockets are done above the side pleats is just superb.

The instructions were wonderful and this skirt has lots of beautiful details. Classic but with a modern twist – I really do love Oliver + s patterns! However, Stella has decided that she doesn’t want to wear it. Hmmmmm.
