COLETTE GINGER SKIRT

I've been wanting a denim skirt for a while now,
but not one of those that you wear with thongs and a mullet!



I have seen plenty of Colette Ginger Skirts on the 'www' and thought that this pattern would be perfect.

I made View 3 and its a super easy pattern to make up in less than a day!

I decided to line it as the denim appeared to be quite a loose weave and I hate it when your skirt 'seats' in the behind!
Thanks Tracy for the lining - it handles really well.

I have absolutely no idea where the denim came from:/

The 'innards'...


I did a mock flat fell seam in thread that is matchy-matchy with the lining.


The pattern called for an invisible zipper - which I LOVE doing, but chose not to in this case as they don't really work well with denim waistbands.



Love the skirt!

Will definitely be making more and I thoroughly recommend the pattern.

  3. Nice job Jenni! Love it with the red...and the black...a very versatile addition to your wardrobe. I bought some fabric to make a skirt while on holidays...hee hee...but don't hold your breath waiting for me to sew it :) Might have to look for that pattern...it's lovely!
