Have more elaborate projects to post, but I’m really feeling these lazy days of summer right now. This is a classic plaid mini skirt, nothing more to it. You can see more pics on my blog Sew Sixties.
Happy sewing!

Love all of your mini skirts! You have such great fabric choices, and they look great on you. I also loved your other 60s garments — they all fit you so well and celebrate the time period so nicely. I am so inspired to make a mini skirt for my daughter, what pattern are you using? Thanks for sharing your love of the 60s.
Thanks for the compliments! The pattern is from 1966 and is Simplicity 7699. Depending on your daughter's height, you may have to significantly shorten it. I'm 5'4" and found the pattern to be quite a bit too long. Good luck to you!
