Ahoy there! I have been away this week but I am back and have lots to blog about! First is my new make, my Anchors Away Circle Skirt!This skirt was inspired by the little anchor patch which I got a while ago along with a whole loads of others that I haven't used yet and I thought it was about time.
I drafted the circle skirt pattern myself using
Casey's sewalong on Elegant Musings which was fab as I am not so good on the mathematics side of things. (I made one before from jersey but we won't go there) I added the white braid and iron on and a small gold button with a bent shank with another cute anchor on it.

Good zipper! |
It fits me perfectly though next time I will make the waistband a little longer so that it overlaps a bit more for the button and buttonhole. I had great fun wearing it out for cocktails and then again while shopping in London. Get ready for picture overload!

This was for my boyfriend who is currently obsessed with 'Keeping Up Appearances.' Onslow: ' Oh nice!' |

Oh my god, this skirt is to die for! I love all the nautical details, it's such a winner! And pairing it with the stripy top was a genius move!!!
ReplyDeleteWow thank you! I actually bought the t-shirt with the skirt in mind, before I had even started to make it! heehee!

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop a quick comment to say hello to a fellow South Wales sewer - I live in Cardiff, but I spent three very happy years in Swansea as an undergraduate. *waves*
