This week I will catch up on posting about the rest of what I made this summer--mostly knits from the class I took in spring and a few other items.
Today I give you my tulip skirt which I enjoyed wearing all summer. Jenny Gordy is such a great designer and I’m so glad she wrote and shared this pattern. The instructions were easy to follow, although I messed up and got the placket on the wrong side, but love it anyway. I would like to make another to wear with tights and boots this winter. I’ll have to figure out how to line it, because I don’t like wearing slips and I know it will stick to tights.
The top is Lydia from Burda Style. I got a little over confident with my skills and made it with a silk jersey. You probably can’t see but the sleeve hems are rippled and I’m not sure I can steam that out. Lydia is a good basic pattern—the deep scoop neck is a very nice detail. I think I will need to alter the pattern for more room in the bust area and less in the shoulders and armholes.
Until tomorrow…
