Skirt with Pockets and Pleats!
10:37 AM
I thought a grass green skirt would be fun for Spring.
Pattern: Butterick 5249
Version B
It's a really basic skirt, no hem vent or fancy stuff just a zip back.
In my mind it's a pencil skirt, but I think it's actually more of a "straight" skirt as it's got quite a bit of room at the bottom so you don't need the back vent and can still walk around just fine.
The pockets have a pleat and are just one panel, which makes it easy.

| I wore it to church yesterday, and until now going through these photos didn't realize my hair looked like bonch all day! |
I used a linen blend which is light and cool to wear, but does wrinkle some throughout the day.
Not as wrinkle prone as actual linen, but kind of a pain. Maybe starch or something would help.
I also paired it with a wide belt. The pattern has small belt loops, which would be a good idea, but I was lazy and just plopped a wide belt on top rather than saw the smaller loops for a narrow belt.
I'm excited Spring is here...although the yard work has begun and takes into my sewing time!

now I need to grab myself that pattern - love those pockets
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color. And the pockets are such a fun detail that doesn't make it hard to wear it with stuff. I have a skirt that is really ruffly on the bottom, and I have the hardest time finding stuff to wear with it!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
this is stunning, I am so impressed. Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI just love this colour - the pockets are super fun!
ReplyDeleteDigging the shoes too!
I love it!!! You look great. I usually don't like to sew with patterns, but I just might have to get this pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh pretty - love the pleated pockets and the GREEN! Bravo for selfish sewing!
ReplyDeleteOh is this lovely! Who cares if you don't have a fancy shmancy vent! The pockets is the detail that makes the whole skirt. Bravo! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, we love to hear from you!
