…skirt!
That’s what I made out of that length of ultrasuede fabric I was given.
I went over a number of different ideas for it, but in the end thought I’d get the most wear out of a skirt, and I wanted to keep the shape simple to let the color be the focus. (I even, get this, made a practice version first…but don’t worry, I won’t get in that habit.) 🙂
The pattern is Simplicity2152, and I originally made the version with the welts, but decided I liked unadorned, straight seams better.
I’m still toying with the idea of adding some additional embellishment, but I thought I’d wear it out and about, first, to test it, and enjoy it at least once this way before I take it any further. I left the hem raw, just because with ultrasuede, you can, like all the 1970’s Halston dresses left with cuffs unhemmed.
Good job! When you have great fabric like that, you don’t need a complex or intricate pattern. You selected the perfect pattern. Let the fabric do the talking. And it’s talking, girl!
Thank you! 🙂
