I've been looking for a TNT skirt pattern that can be used for casual, denim skirt and flip flop days yet versatile enough to dress up with a blouse and jacket for a suited look. This one fits the bill. The fabric is some kind of a wool/poly mix that I picked up at Hancock’s some time ago. It was very inexpensive fabric that I intended to use solely as my muslin. It ended up being a wearable muslin. The pocket flaps are made from faux black leather and backed with black satin lining fabric. I also used the black satin lining fabric for the kick pleat underlay. Here's a side shot:
The fit truly is amazing. It's very comfortable without being sloppy or frumpy. I plan to make the next one in a red linen fabric with a lining. I didn't line this one as I didn't want to purchase any extra material since this was intended as a muslin. A complete review of this pattern can be read at Pattern Review
i would like one in denim please!
