Finally an introduction and a finished project! it’s taken me so long because I rarely make anything for myself these days. I’m Claire, and I live and sew in Sydney.
So here is my finished button down skirt, made from vintage Butterick pattern 5930, and vintage brushed cotton that I bought at the Op Shop this week. I will be making this skirt again, because as is always the case, the next time the pattern should make more sense!
I like the way your skirt turned out. That fabric is really nice (though not something I would wear, I tend to go for bright colors). It looks better than I would have thought from the pattern envelope.
But those pattern illustrations have some problems. Like, what’s with the long skirt over slacks?
Wow, it looks much nice than the pattern. I have a button-up-the front (or is it down?)pattern that I have been wanting to try, and now that I have seen yours, I will do it for sure. I love the colors, so Autumn-y.
I really really like that skirt. I am a bit of a skirt freak and am always looking for yet another version. Yours looks great, you did a fab job. 🙂
That pattern is killer. I love the colours of it – and the shape of it is really flattering. The buttons were a nice choice!
