I made this same skirt with a Nani Iro double gauze knit before and I wear it all the time, so it was about time for a new one. Is it just me or do you worry about wearing out your favourite clothes too?

| Decapitated me as usual because I couldn't be asked to put on some make-up ;-) |
The pattern is from 'one piece & skirt' and it's the only thing I have dared to make from this book. I have little faith in my dressmaking skills, and the fact that it's all in Japanese doesn't help either, but simple skirts I can handle.
I could live in this outfit especially since the skirt has nice deep pockets, love me some pockets!
So I may just need to make one more...it's the right thing to do really, since I already have the fabric ;-)
Ok- I'm on my way to enjoy the Cornish coast for a few days, and I'm turning the computer off {she said bravely} - wish me luck wit the withdrawal that will set in any minute now!

Oh that skirt is gorgeous and I love the fabrics you've selected for the next one. Wish I could make clothes I'd actually want to wear out.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty- love pockets too! Enjoy Cornwall x
ReplyDeletei loooove it leila, that fabric is perfect and yes, the pockets, love love pockets. There's something comforting about them for me. Enjoy your time off, thoroughly!
ReplyDeleteIt is a really lovely skirt - fantastic colour! I hope you have a lovely time in Cornwall and that the sun shines for you.

ReplyDeleteDear Leila, The skirt looks sooo cool. I want one for myself! Thanks so much for the link to my shop. The grey nani IRO stripe (saaaa saaa) will be one of our new fabrics soon. -x- Rozalinde
ReplyDeleteOhh.. and enjoy your time of :-) & me too, I always worry about my favorites wearing out...
ReplyDeleteLeila, I just have to tell you that I love everything you make and look to your blog and flickr for inspiration. You are a breathe of fresh air with all your beautiful ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt - especially with the red tights! Enjoy the Cornish coast. I'm sorry that all I can think about is tiny, little hens.
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt, glad we got to see it after it was hiding behind the gorgeous pillows earlier in the week. It seems we all love pockets too! I saw some great pockets this week on a really gathered skirt and the pockets were gathered too and a real feature on the front. Unfortunately it was on a person and not in a shop waiting for me to buy it...
ReplyDeleteoh my. the top fabric on your pile for more skirt making is making me swoon. congrats on getting to the apparel sewing. i never manage to get to that part of my sewing piles. maybe a new year's resolution???
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty skirt, Leila! Now I am off to reserve the book at the library and get some Nani Iro prints!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I'm so excited to get to Japan and shop all their fabric stores!!
