Denim Moss Mini
I took my white denim Grainline Moss Mini to Las Vegas last year and it proved to be a very useful addition to my travel wardrobe. I wore it with tops and sneakers for sightseeing or sandals for evening meals and shows. It did last the summer but by the end, the zip gave out. It had got a little tight so I wasn't too upset. I certainly had my monies worth out of it.After I booked my tickets to Sydney, a replacement top was top of my sewing queue. This time I upsized it slightly and also lengthened it and left off the bottom band.
The fabric I used was blue stretch denim from The Fabric Store that was leftover from my recently made Levis rub off jeans. I already had the topstitching thread and button so the only thing I bought was the zip. Even the waistband and pocket lining were rescued from a shirt of my husbands.
Once again my moss mini proved invaluable for the Sydney part of my recent holiday. The weather was pleasantly warm but quite blustery, perfect denim skirt weather!
A great staple! And the slightly big waistband will probably be perfect when winter comes and you want to wear it with tights and tucked in t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katherine. I hadn't thought about that added bonus!
DeleteA well fitting denim skirt is always a useful addition to the wardrobe. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI am wanting a denim skirt for my capsule, I really like this but I wonder if it is a bit fitted for my thickish waist.
ReplyDeleteYou always look so pulled together and smart.
Thank you! Grainline do a great job of drafting and this skirt is designed to be worn low so should work with most waists.
DeleteThe Moss is very Sydney. Very professional finish.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is my second version so getting a good finish came pretty easy.
