NL 6544 Skirt

I think almost all of my skirts are denim or canvas. Minerva supplied 3m of this pale blue cotton, so I made two skirts I've sewn before previously. New Look 6544 pencil skirt with 2 inch added to the length. Blouse is Itch to Stitch Melrose Top in cotton poplin. 

New Look pencil skirt, I used an invisible zip and hook and eye, rather than a standard zip.

Deba Topper & Stanwyck Skirt

 I purchased the quilting cotton for a Christmas quilt, but the Itch to Stitch Deba Topper  pattern test came out around the same time. I used the red colour way for the facing, it can be pressed as a collar or worn flat. I used a jewel colour rainbow jacket button (Pigeon Wishes buttons gift from Mr W).

Koersel Cape I think made in December. Pique cotton woven suiting end of roll purchased a couple of years ago. Binding, also used for the edge finishing, is cotton poplin cut on the bias.
