First Dabble with Jersey

Okay - well this number was my fist dabble with a stretch fabric and only because I'd bought the pattern cus I liked the shape and then realised it need a two-way-stretch

VOGUE 8711

If memory recalls the fabric was a great price at £3.99 mtr. So a good cheap wardrobe item.

Ended up having to lengthen the short version ! as the long was neither here nor there- consciously dropped the length of my hem line some years ago with fear of baa-baa-baa ( mutton-lamb... say no more.)   

The side patch detailing took a couple of attempts -  to ensure even seam lines and matched-up. pickie pickie meXX 

Lovely shape and flattering, It's a really comfy skirt  to wear due to the elastic waist, and can be dressed up n down - might do one for my sister who lives in Canada, ( don't hold your breath though Lol if you read this x )  at some point as she could easily adjust the elastic to suit. 

blimey- I look like a giant - I can get through the doors in our house .. honest
