pocketses

I made a skirt this afternoon to match yesterday’s scarf out of that lovely dark grey wool suiting. The best thing about it is without doubt it’s pockets:

…and wot tasty pocketses they are.

Though I say so meself, the skirt has the best overall finish of anything I’ve made for myself so far. I put a pattern together following the basic A line instructions in this book and added my own details and pockety embellishments. Perhaps because I’d designed it, and felt in control of the process, making it was miraculously trouble-free, even the zip and facings. I’m very pleased with the result – particularly the fit, and the way it hangs. Anyway, when theres some light tomorrow perhaps I’ll post a pic of the whole outfit…
