Next up by the hops vines I present to you a slightly wrinkled simplicity 2215 skirt view, a Cynthia Rowley pattern. I wear this one a lot and had to fish it out the laundry basket for this shoot. The top is from comptoir des cotonniers, something I brought back from France. The skirt is easily matched with a black or white tank and possibly even a button up shirt (chambray?).
"I am covered in lint" moment
The choice of a linen-cotton blend plaid was pretty adventurous as the linen likes to shift while being cut making matching the plaid a bit tricky. The side invisible zipper next to the pocket gave me a bit of a sweat but ended up going smoothly. I should have listened to the pattern and used a lighter fabric for the pockets, my cotton blend is a bit bulky, but I am over it by now. Next time I will use rayon or muslin.
I cut a size ten with no modifications, the fabric was purchased online from Fabricmart.com, it is unfortunately out of stock. I liked it right away, even in the almost mustard color scheme. It reminds me of TOAST UK, my favorite clothier to dream about. I have already ordered more fabric to make another, but Fabricmart can be a bit slow to ship sometimes and I am embarrassed to admit that I can't remember what it looks like!
