Walking Skirt
Last night I finished the Victorian Walking Skirt I was making for Justine. She says it's very comfortable.
From the front
and back. There are insets between the gores to make it more full as well as a box pleat in the back.
And from the side. I think the next one will have a slight train to it.
And finally, a gratuitous cat photo. But I can see that I need to dust the treadle table.

Why-oh-why can't more of us get back to wearing skirts. I LOVE the way they look . . . so feminine! Lovely skirt on Justine. That's gotta have a lot of material in it with the insets between the gores, no?
ReplyDeleteI really should wear more skirts. I actually wear them more often at home than at work.
DeleteIt does look nice on her, doesn't it. And yes, it has about 4 yards of fabric, but I love the fullness in the back.
You are soo talented! I love your sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't claim to have sewed this on the treadle machine, though. I've got a lovely Elna machine. I just got the treadle in August and haven't quite mastered the rhythm yet.
DeleteI agree with Mama Pea - they're so comfortable and useful! You are very, very talented!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, you guys are going to make me have a big head! But thanks for the compliments.
ReplyDeleteLaura Ingalls in her schoolteacher days! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes! I hadn't thought of that. But actually, on V's side of the family they are related somehow. Some distant cousin several times removed, I think. His Mom researched it and Justine has a notebook detailing the relationship.
Delete3rd cousin 8 times removed :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm glad you remembered.
