Funny how plans change if you allow yourself time to dream and play.
I had intended to dismantle the blue skirt, and remake it in the exact same style, just shorter and smaller in total girth, but somehow, the more I looked at it, the more evident it became that I didn't want to make the same skirt over again.
So I found a pattern, traced it off, dithered over alterations and decided to just go for it.
A shorter skirt, with eyelet over the entire length of the leg, required a different lining than the original skin-tone silk/cotton. The demands of the new design dictated underlining rather than a separate lining. As I fretted over lining choices, an olive batiste practically threw itself off the shelf at me. Olive and Navy is one of my favorite combinations. It seems this skirt remodel is taking on a life of its own.

I´m totally hopeless in making, designing clothes, but if it brings you the same kind of energy and happiness, I get from designing interiors ( waking up in the night to see how something would work ), I understand and support you completely : )

I LOVE the eyelet with the lining. Great colour combo and how pretty – but with a little something extra.

Love that color combo. Very good idea to just change the skirt all together!

That is a sexy color combination! Love it.
That was the best word I could think of.
Very creative.

Mette,
yes, you have captured the feeling completely, waking up in the night to see
how something would work. This is why my closet will never be minimalist
because I am too full of ideas. Unfortunately my inspiration does not
carry over to designing interiors but I understand the urge.
Cx Thank you K_Line, I
think it was inspired, and now that it is done, I think it will take a strictly
summer skirt and help it work through the warmer September days as well.
Mary Beth, now it seems
like a new skirt instead of an alteration.
Ooo La La Robin.
