I finished the skirt last night I have been making from a 1930s pattern, it turned out just how I wanted! I used french seams and a lot of hand stitching, I didn't just want a skirt for this season, I want it for years of wear. At first it was a little straight, looked more 20s than 30s, so I curved it in a teeny bit under the hips and the effect I think is just right. This is one of those patterns I'll make lots of skirts with, for this one I used the leftovers from my 30s pants in the previous post, and I already bought some blue wool fabric to make another :)

Love the skirt! I recently discovered the miracle of sewing elastic-band skirts and now I'm addicted! They're so incredibly easy yet I tend to sew them kind of messily...oops :) But I can't wait to see more of your skirts with that pattern!
