Floral Crescent Skirt - Finished!

I finally got photos! Still not pretty outside photos though as the weather will not cooperate. I got sick of waiting so took some inside shots. Please excuse the milk bottle legs. I don't tan ever, I just burn so I play it safe with masses of sun cream (when there's actually sunshine!). You were also nearly subjected to a gross shot of a burn on my left arm. Luckily Dom noticed, so you get my right side instead. The burn is from the stupid oven. It had blistered up and started healing when I scratched it by accident when distracted by the latest episode of Doctor Who (if you've seen it, you'll understand why I was so distracted!).
So back to the skirt. I LOVE this pattern!! As mentioned in this post, this is the first time that I've put in a zip successfully! I'm going to try the zipper insertion method on other projects too. When I hemmed it, I only took it up about half an inch so it's a little longer than if you followed the pattern. I like the length, its just below the knee which is great as I have knobbly knees! lol The waistband is really sturdy too, which feels nice and secure. It also shows the shape nicely.
I can't wait to finish up my red version! :)

  1. Lovely! I do loves me a good sturdy waistline (and good big pockets from the looks of it).

    Also, Doctor Who, OMGZ!!!11!1 I was torn between bawling my eyes out and going "What?? Just, what?!!" Can't believe we have to wait 'til the autumn now!

  2. Thank you! :) Yeah, I forgot to mention the pockets. I love them, they're big and comfy :)
    Me too! I was in fits of laughter at the Doctors reaction at the end! But then just wanted to cry. I don't think I can wait that long! what a mean cliffhanger ending it was!
