I've long been a fan of the My Folklore prints. Some of the first fabric I ever purchased and used was from this line.
The new prints are just as fun, and I have a few other cuts in that box from Pink Castle!
So, the skirt!
I picked up Simplicity 0498 at a Joann's sale months ago, and felt the cut would be more flattering than my last skirt attempt.
Verdict?
I like it! I had the navy blue binding in the stash, and I think it adds just the right amount of contrast. I adore the pockets, and the length is very flattering.
I will enjoy wearing it this fall (maybe with the black boots I never seem to pull out of the closet!). The print is conservative enough that I can wear it to work, but fun enough that I can wear it elsewhere.
The pattern is pretty easy to follow, although it appears to be discontinued.
I'm entering my skirt into Celebrate Color, my first entry!
By the way, you've still got a little time to enter my pillow giveaway!

ReplyDeleteSo super cute!! I really want to get into making my own clothes, but I am just seriously terrible at following patterns! I need to find something simple to start with?

ReplyDeleteLovely! Do the boots have heels? Because that would be perfect.

ReplyDeleteI love this! It is very flattering and I love the print. I still want to make a wearable garment soon (other than lounge pants of course) and so I'll be pinning this as an idea!
