Orange skirt

Sooo..
Finally I should post some pictures of my new orange skirt! I am pretty bad model and Semeon is not the best fashion photographer(sorry, darling!) so the first attempt to photo the skirt last Saturday didn't satisfied me. Then I asked my tripod for help, I tried 2 times and still no good result! I decided to stop and post what I have. May be next time we will produce better stuff%)

I choose to make 08/2012 314 from Burda Style magazine. This was pretty easy and fast. My only change was to add the lining because this is wool skirt and I want to wear it with the tights.  Oh, I also added 3 more cm to the length. Only one difficulty was to turn out the corners near the zipper after stitching the facing because the fabric was pretty thick.

I like the result!

And close-up!  Don't pay attention to our old Soviet style balcony!

The same color with balcony%)

PS. I have small piece of left-over, so may be I will add pockets later to my skirt%) Like at the skirt 08/2012 135 but without flaps, not enough fabric for them.

Facts:

• Fabric:  06.m of wool-viscose blend
• Pattern: Burda magazine 08/2012 134
• Fabric was first, them I choose a pattern
• Notions:  zipper, lining
• Time to complete: pretty fast, may be 2-3 hours together (I am very slow person!)
• First worn:  October 20th to the theater
• Wear again:  Definitely
• Total cost:  11 euro

 

Help me please choose pattern for the orange fabric%)

Fabric for cutting

 As I wrote in the previous post, I am going to make a skirt from orange piece of wool blend. The fabric is ready for cutting and pre-washed. It is pretty heavy so I think better to make sonething without pleats.

The first pattern is 09-2010-106 from Burda magazine. I plan to make skirt little bit shorter, one hand above knee will be fine.

The second pattern is 08-2012-135 from Burda again%). I think that smaller pockets will be better, also I haven't so much fabric for big pockets%)

Or may be choose pattern 134 without pockets.
