Yes, I’m still posting garments that I made at Sewjourn! Each of my girls received a 2 + 2 skirt, in size 4 for Stella and size 8 for Clare. Both fabrics are from Heather Ross‘s Far, Far Away Chapter 2 line. They are a cotton/linen blend and a medium weight – perfect for skirts that can be worn all the year around.
This one is Stella’s. The back is elasticised, and there is a side placket with self-covered button and snaps to close it. Although with the elastic, it’s not really necessary, but it’s such a gorgeous detail.
Really, it’s this attention to detail that makes the Oliver + S patterns so special. I seem to be building up a collection of them. The blouses from this pattern are already cut out; I just need to sew them up. Clare has refused to model her skirt until I have made the blouse so that she can wear them both together!
And to show off the placket when the skirt is undone:
These photos show off stray threads that need clipping! I hadn’t noticed until I’d taken this close-up. I’m looking forward to completing these outfits soon. Although I have a large number of projects cut out again at the moment! And maybe now it’s time to sew up something else for me – the Parfait dress perhaps?
