I made this skirt on the first day of Me Made May. This was a quick make, done in a few hours and I even wore it out that night! I've been really inspired to sew this month and I hope I'll get a few more things done before the month is over. I've made a few versions of this skirt before and I really love it. It's as easy to wear as it is to make.
For the pattern, I used the skirt pattern from Sew U Home Stretch by Wendy Mullin. You might recall that I used this pattern last week for my Red Ikat Knit skirt. I've also used it for a grey knit skirt and a striped double-knit. This time the only adjustment I made was to make the length a little bit shorter so that it hit just above the knee.
The fabric is a double-knit that I picked up at the Michael Levine Loft, bulk fabric store in downtown LA. It has a nice thickness which is perfect for a fitted skirt like this.
I really love this skirt paired with the coral color. It's a little unusual as a pairing but the navy and black are essentially neutrals, so why not? Do you have a go-to pattern like this skirt, something that you make over and over again? If you want to keep up with my Me Made May adventures, follow me on Instagram. I'm posting all my daily outfits! :)
