I wanted some simple skirts this summer that would be good
to wear when you wanted to look nice but still casual. After some searching I found
Burda pattern # 7241. This is a great
straight skirt with an elastic top waistband which makes for an easy on and
off, not to mention room for comfort after a big meal on a summer patio!
The first skirt I followed the pattern to a t and ended up
with this lovely knee length blue skirt. The material is a cotton stretch in a
medium weight which makes it easy care with minimal pressing.
The next skirt I made was from a lighter weight cotton print
again with a bit of stretch to it.
I
fell in love with this purple print. It
took a bit of work to find some items that went with it but I was able to find
two tops that work well with it. This
skirt I made a bit shorter, just above the knee. If I were to make it again, I would make the
longer option. Actually I think this is
a very versatile skirt and I could see a few different color ways of this skirt
in medium weight solids or wool crepe.
Mmmmm, wool crepe, I love wool crepe.
