@Iztaccihuatl
Dear Heidemarie:

    VERY NICE WORK that you are doing with your sewing projects....
The wool skirt looks amazing and it goes very nicely with the jacket that
you made earlier.

Thank you for sharing.  I am looking forward to seeing more of your sewing successes.

HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

Quote from: Iztaccihuatl on March 11, 2025, 12:36:34 PMHere is a picture from my latest sewing project, a woolen half circle skirt. I recently found some remnant fabric on sale which was just enough for this skirt. It is a nice piece for the colder seasons.



It does combine very well with the jacket from the project that was the subject of my first posting under this thread:



Well done!  I love it!  Age appropriate I'd say.  Classy.

That is actually the style I am trying to achieve, a classic, elegant and timeless design which also happens to be totally age appropriate for me. Feminine, but not overly girly. Maybe slightly on the conservative side in fashion terms.

You got it! The pattern and fabric combine well to meet your goals. Spot on!

Here is my latest creation. I found a lovely fabric late last year in Vienna while on a trip to Europe. And now I turned it into a lovely skirt with box pleats:

Very nice. I think a belt might look nice with that, too.

Probably. However, I didn't add any belt loops and with my not very well defined waist I fear that the belt might move to places where it shouldn't be...

I understand. I was just thinking about how it might look with a medium to wide belt, white maybe, to bring out the dots.  ;D

Here is my latest creation. I found some lovely denim fabric embroidered with flowers and I turned that into a beautiful denim skirt.



The flowers could be daisies, marguerites or edelweiss. I like to think the latter as it would make me feel like Empress Elisabeth (Sissy) of Austria in that famous painting by Franz Xaver Winterhalter from 1865...
