I really like the material too - it's cozy with a cute color combo :) Maybe one day I'll get over my knee insecurities and make shorter skirts LOL.<br /><br />Really Petite - LOL, SPG Sewing Academy does have a nice ring to it! But seriously, I'm just a beginner :) Kerry from littlenashua, on the other hand, her talent astounds me.

I prefer a little shorter length. Otherwise, it is perfect!

Also, lining fabric is weirdly expensive even though it's almost always a polyester - it can easily double your cost of materials. I'm so incredibly HAPPY you like the necklace!! :)<br /><br />Kileen - Thanks for the kind words! It is definitely a nice and cozy fabric - a plus for the winter! YES, I kept getting an A-line - that's what I meant to say instead of "triangle" . LOL.<br /><br />Cee - I love hearing suggestions! I think in general 99.9% of petites look good with above the knee skirts and proportionally, I think I would too, but I have weird knee insecurities :( So I keep them covered whenever I can!<br /><br />Kerry - Thank you! Your sewing comments mean so much to me because I really look up to you and your talent :) I'm glad I'm not the only one who has issues with pencil skirts!<br /><br />Jean - Thank you! I agree with you about the length and if it weren't for my weird-looking knees (at least in my head, hubby thinks I'm being dumb), I would make all skirts above the knee to be more proportional.SewPetiteGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146296944137057378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-80970343356005182142010-11-29T17:02:56.440-08:002010-11-29T17:02:56.440-08:00I think you did a pretty good job!

Personally on me I think I like to see boucle a little shorter in length to balance out the heavier texture.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216324874406973211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-46225488419471914662010-11-29T16:09:35.715-08:002010-11-29T16:09:35.715-08:00This is adorable!

I did 4 versions of a pencil skirt using the exact same pattern until I got the right fit. That being said, I still have a hard time getting in and out of the car wearing them, so of the 4 I made I only wear one of the, which is made of a stretch fabric and is the loosest fitting of the four.<br /><br />I have been wanting a wool or boucle style skirt like this for a while, and I have some leftover gray stretch cashmere from my military jacket that I am going to use.

I think a higher-waisted pencil skirt might look better if the hem ends a few inches above the knees, whereas one sitting around your hips look great around the knees. I'm just picturing this in my head so I thought I'd share. Ignore me if I'm totally out of whack :)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183749125846812753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-55078814730729255062010-11-29T14:21:56.665-08:002010-11-29T14:21:56.665-08:00wow, i really adore this skirt!! the fabric looks...wow, i really adore this skirt!! the fabric looks like a beautiful tweed and it seems nice and warm too! i tried sewing a pencil skirt once but it turned into an A-line dress pretty quickly. i couldn't get the fit right, lol. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cuteandlittle.com" rel="nofollow">cuteandlittle.com</a>Kileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205766487543917063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-73715178166418821802010-11-29T13:52:21.407-08:002010-11-29T13:52:21.407-08:00cute skirt you have on! looks great on you. i coul...cute skirt you have on! looks great on you. i could imagine the difficulty of sewing a pencil skirt. do you line yours -- i imagine that is hard too.<br />i'm wearing the necklace you made today! i love it and my bf complimented me on it.Pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691816499034268105noreply@blogger.com
