Vogue 1247 in Printed Denim

I have made another version of my modified Vogue 1247 skirt pattern.  This time in a printed stretch denim.

The fabric came from the remnant table at Fabric Vision.  I didn't have quite enough for the waist band so needed to cut that from another denim from my stash.  

I added an exposed zip to the back of the skirt and chose the gold colour to match the gold print on the denim.  Unfortunately I cut the waistband too small so once I completed the skirt and realised that if I sat down it would have cut me in half, I unpicked it and added a small extension to the point I felt it was least visible.  Given that I usually bag my tops at the back, I felt it wouldn't be seen anyway.  As usual I pegged the side seams and added a walking vent.  To finish the skirt I added a jean button.

This skirt is a very useful addition to my winter wardrobe and one that will get worn a ton in both winter and spring.  I think I better get my act together and make a few more now, because most of my current ones are feeling a little tight.

Please note, these photos were taken after a day at work so there is the odd wrinkle in the skirt.  I have so many unblogged projects at the moment, I really need to take every opportunity to get photos so after work today, I set up my tripod in the garden before it got too dark.
