Here is a cute skirt from Colette.
A high waisted straight skirt provides a very flattering shape with paneled styling: not too loose or too tight around the hips, with a very fitted waist. This skirt buttons up the front, has side seam pockets, and includes a self tie belt, which can be swapped out for your own narrow belts. This lined skirt is an intermediate pattern.
This pattern would be great in a wool suiting fabric. Our half price fabrics upstairs are a great place to look for a great steal on wools!
The light to medium weight wools from upstairs wools would be nice to use. And what a bargain at half off!
You can also choose from our amazing cotton prints for an updated look on this skirt!
Want to make your skirts and other garments better? Here are two ways to help improve your technique!
1. An invisible zipper looks great in a skirt and isn't that hard once you know how. Learn three zipper techniques in our zipper class!
2. Improve your seams! These details may seem tiny, but they add craftsmanship, creative interest, and flair. Do you know what Flat-felled, French, Welt, Bias Bound seam, Rouleau, Seminole patchwork, and Hong Kong seams are? Learn them all along with topstitching and edgestitching in our seam class with Barbara Beccio.
