  • CORDOBA

    CORDOBA

    The name of this pattern gives me a great desire to travel, I would love to be able to leave freely like a year ago! For the moment I imagine being in Andalusia with this wrap skirt, although perhaps for the temperature of the south of Spain I should already opt for a lighter fabric instead of this superb Gucci wool that I have bought on the SuperCut site!

    I must say that this model from Bélène Paris is fantastic, the cut well structured.

    The skirt is fully lined.

    For the lining to use, the explanatory booklet gives different suggestions depending on the chosen fabric. For my skirt, the wool is not very stiff, so I opted for a cotton poplin.

    I found the two 4cm D-rings for closing the belt on the Atelier de la Création website, but if you have trouble finding them you can reduce the height of the belt accordingly (everything is well explained in the booklet!).

    Technically, you should pay a little attention to the seam of the belt due to the thickness.

    I also lengthened the length of the skirt by 5 cm like this:

  • SANDRINE

    SANDRINE

    In my wardrobe I really lacked a nice straight skirt with a classic cut (at least sewn by me 😉), not too mini to be easily worn at the office😊. Sandrine skirt by c’est moi le patron is mainly available in three versions, mini, with or without ruffles, or 47 cm long with a back slit. It also features side pockets and pentagonal-shaped rear patch pockets.

    I opted for the 47cm length as I wanted to experiment with sewing a back slit for the first time. I didn’t find it particularly complicated to make, just be careful in the pattern not to cut the lower part diagonally as indicated but in a rectangle (pink lines below).

    It will be easier to assemble the skirt later. Also, in the instructions I have not found the indication to finish all the edges of the back of the skirt, before sewing the invisible zipper, which I recommend.

    A step-by-step video is available here.

    Personally, I didn’t sew the back pockets because I wanted a really classic model.

    For the fabric I opted for a beautiful blue Flannel Blue Rivière from Stragier that I love! For the bottoms of the side pockets, I used a 3-thread cotton poplin of the same color, also by Stragier.

    The skirt does not have a lining but for the next time I think I will add it to have a more refined work.

    Here the result!

    🍎 See you soon! 🍎
