Plaid Pencil Skirt

 
It took me 3 weeks to make this simple, simple skirt. 
The fabric was bought at JoAnn's and most likely won't last long, but it's okay.
It's lined and the lining has a bit of lace on the edge.
I didn't have Jay take photos of the lining, but you can sorta see the lace
peeking out from the bottom of the skirt - so frustrating. 

 
The pattern is simplicity 2154 and I really want to try the cardigan from this pattern.
I added 2" to the length of the skirt and pegged the hem a bit more.
But then I hemmed it 2", so.


 
The dog had to be in the picture.
I have a pink sweater the same color as the pink in the plaid.
Maybe next time, pink would be better than white.

  2. looks great with this sweater!
    i had to laugh about adding 2 inches and then hemming that much off because i've done that myself a few times too. :)

  3. I think the pink would be a good color with this skirt, but I also think the dog is a great accessory. He's just the right color! It looks good on you.

  5. Fabulous plaid skirt! I hear ya about taking three weeks to sew something. Sewing time just seems to be so limited lately doesn't it?

    I LOVE that the dog has to be in the photo! My babies are getting older and I miss the days when they when they tried to be in every one of my photos.
