Corduroy Crescent Skirt

Another finished project and one I desperately needed to fill an 'everyday skirt' void in my wardrobe.

This skirt was made with Sewaholic's new Crescent skirt pattern. The pattern was easy to follow and quick to make. I made mine with corduroy, but probably will use something lighter weight next time, as my poor overlocker sounded quite sad as I rushed through its construction.

I'm generally quite happy with the skirt and the pattern. I think the sizing may run a little large, but I also should have properly tapered the waist band to fit my not-so-curvy frame.

I think I'll make it again. The shaping of the waist band is quite unique and would look great with some bias piping to show it off or perhaps some stripey fabric to show off the curves.

This is my third day of MMJ and I'm so happy with this great outfit for playing around with the kids. I should note that I finished this skirt just before I went on holidays, so these photos are from then, but I love this outfit so much that I'm wearing the exact same today. The kids are here today, so no point taking another photo of me wearing the exact same thing. I hope that's OK to all, I'm not trying to dodge the system, just being econimical with my time!

Yesterdays outfit was a little less great. Now that I'm on a uni break, I worked a spilt shift at the restaurant, so I wore a horrible, super large, poly blend work issued shirt (yuk!) and my black work pants, which I made with a Built by Wendy Simplicity pattern 3850.

I'm so ashamed of this outfit, I can't even show my face!

I really love this pattern and these pants, but the fabric I made them out of isn't so great and they are a tad short. I really need to make another pair, especially as I will be working at the restaurant until I graduate at the end of the year - gosh that seems like such a long way away! I can't wait till I get my sewing evenings back!
