Style Arc Alexi with B5466 suede and wool pieced skirt
Notes: Found the right stretch and thickness for the Style Arc Alexi top at Fabric.com. In previous makes had narrowed the sleeve and tapered in at the waist. This time, I also lengthened the top.
Pieced the skirt as I didn't have enough of the wool. Didn't want to the usual use the suede horizontally at the bottom as a border for two reasons: Didn't have enough fabric pieces long enough and also thought it would scream "not enough fabric to make this!". I like the diagonal as it looks as if a deliberate design choice, which I guess it is.
