Jersey maxi (warning, self-timer picture included)

A sewing with knits success!
After the hideousness of the double disaster sequin T, I cast my fears of jersey aside and plunged into making a maxi skirt. I love maxi skirts for the summer because they hide my freakishly pale legs and knobbly knees.
The jersey was a bargain from Minerva Crafts  but I was a bit worried that it would be too thin when it arrived. Don't you hate it when you realise your jersey leggings are actually more like tights?
Anyway, the jersey was fairly fine but I don't think you can see my knickers through it.
So, another Burda pattern.


Super-easy. One pattern piece that acts as both front and back, then cut a rectangle for the waistband and double it over. This is great because you can hoick the skirt up or down a bit depending on the height of your shoes and the wetness of the terrain.

Ta da! Fabulously poor-quality self-timer picture with scary starey eyes. I have realised photography is going to be a problem. I need a backdrop and someone who can actually take a photograph.
