Grey wool fabric for skirt
« on: June 25, 2021, 13:21:53 PM »
I have ordered this wool suiting to make a circular skirt for colder days.

This is described as lightweight wool that looks like linen but doesn't crease. The grey colour will go with all different coloured sweaters so should be a useful addition to my now thinned out wardrobe.
Edit: Had a problem attaching photo so will add it later.
Ta da! I've done it.

Nice @Silver Rose.  Really used fabric choice.

Thanks @Ohsewsimple  I just hope it will be soft enough to take the fullness of the skirt and won't stick out like a lampshade  :D.

The fabric came in the post this morning, really prompt service from Croft Mill. I am pleased that although it is wool, it is not too heavy and will be OK for the Simplicity 8128 skirt.
