Plaid skirt

This is a plaid wool skirt BWOF 102 from sept. 2007. The waist edge is simply faced for a smooth and simple fit. I used a very nice light wool fabric from my favorite vendor fabricmart.









I do like the way the pleats are stitched down in the front, I think it adds a slimmer look.

















I experimented with different lighting and and I found that the two previous photos show the true colour of the fabric. It was a simple skirt to make two dots.













I lined it with an unknown fabric from my stash, Ithink its a poly mix. The fabric frayed a little, so I used a binding for the hemline. I think it looks better than a serged hem.
