As suggested

OK, I trust you, even though I don't know some of you but I believed you when you said the flowery cord would make an excellent skirt. How right you all were.

I had been resisting using it for a skirt because I had enough for a dress and now I have a little bit left over which is useless but look what I have... a fabulous lined skirt.

I chose to make the 'On trend' skirt from Ottobre autumn/winter 2015 because I had made it before, loved the pocket details and challenge of a bit more skirt for my sewing time.

I am enjoying Me made May but boy is it showing up the need for me to make some solid colour garments. 
I want a plain cardigan to go with this now. 
Might go yarn browsing. 
Thanks for the advice you lovely people. Jo xxxx

    It's a lovely skirt. Glad you were able to make it from such a great cord print.

    Dear Jo
    It looks great - I knew it would! Congratulations! You could always use the remaining piece as part of a bag?
    Best wishes

    Your skirt looks lovely Jo. I can always recommend DROPS yarn for cardigans, it is cheap, washes well and comes in thousands of colours. Ok, maybe 60, depending on the yarn. x

    Love the skirt.
    Have you enough fabric left over to make a matching bag? Or even to incorporate into a section of a bag? There are some fab patterns out there.
    Hugs x

    It looks fantastic, and fits you like a dream. I love skirts, much prefer them to a dress. Hugs,

      Sorry my phone exchanged Jo for John. Predictive texting just breaks my heart sometimes.
