sept 11 evening
Had to change into a skirt for the evening. I generally don't go bare-legged in a skirt, but I was running late.
Same top as the daytime. (S3759)
The skirt is S5914. The pattern envelope shows this in various suiting fabrics, but one day, on the wall of the fabric shop, there was this skirt in denim, and it looked great. Mom and I immediately bought the pattern and some denim to make it in. (I don't think she made hers yet.) I even did the gold top-stitching on the seams and hem, like you do for jeans.
This one is still in print, and is one of those skirts that just fits so well, you want to wear it all the time. Too bad I can't wear denim to work.
