Denim Pencil Skirt and 2 x New Look 6415

My first denim pencil skirt has been worn so often it is really starting to show it's age. Naturally, I decided to remake it. Because I can :)

This time I used a stretch denim, which I hope will be a little more comfortable to wear. I also faced the skirt properly, rather than just with grosgrain ribbon, which was a massive cheat on my first skirt. 

As you can see I also only used a regular skirt length exposed zipper, rather than a feature full length one like my initial skirt. I really like the full length zipper but it isn't always practical and after a full year of wear, is starting to look a little bumpy.

As I'm on a bit of practical wardrobe building bender (boring!), I have also made two new ponte tops to add to my work wardrobe.

I've made a stack of these New Look 6145 tops before. The black one replaces my first black ponte top which I made two years ago.

Fingers crossed the lining for my Frocktails dress arrives tomorrow so I can make it before school starts again. I really need an exciting project to bring me back from the land of practical... zzzzzz.
