I've been getting a lot of wear out of the self-drafted skirt. The wool suiting and Bemberg lining are luxurious and make a world of difference in comfort. I love wearing this skirt. Now I need to sew a more appropriate blouse to go with it because the one I'm wearing in the pictures isn't tailored enough to cut it.
I went to Britex on my lunch break today to look at their fabric remnants. Afterwards, I went downstairs to the suiting fabrics to get some lining. The gentleman cutting in suiting looked down at my skirt.
Did you get that fabric here?
I told him that I did.
I thought it looked familiar!
Then he picked up a bit of my hem to check out the ribbon trim and said Is this--? It is! Hand sewn. Great job.
Made. my. day.
