I have admitted in the past that I like clothes from different decades then this one very much I felt the green blouse I made needed a skirt. I could have made something long and full, which I am fine with but I decided to make something like a pencil skirt.
Why do I say kind of? Because I used a dress pattern as the go by for the skirt. I did not want something TOO tight. I did not put a slit or box pleat in the skirt back to make it easier to walk. I find that I tear those rather quickly with my normal walk.
I like how it turned out. I could have brought the waist band in about an inch. Maybe two to make it tighter but I feel like I can breathe.
I might make it an inch or two longer. But it is comfortable which is what I was going for. I find skirts are can easily feel like they cut me in the middle.
Notice, I am wearing hiking boots. The left foot is healing. SLOWLY! I had some pain free movement today so I am pleased. The ache, the pain does tire me out. Not being able to do all I wish to do frustrates me. I could not be in my figure skates long enough Monday to try to spin. Frustrating! But that is pushing it too hard I know.
I found another piece of furniture today. A water damaged mid-century desk. It will be interesting to see where it takes me. I still have the teak table to sell. One step at a time.
