When I was working on the white ponte top, I knew that I was either going to make a pair of pants or a skirt to match the top. There wasn't enough fabric to make pants so I went with the skirt. I chose the four gore skirt to use the remaining fabric up leaving no scraps.

It was a little windy when we took these pictures but I loved
how the wind gave the skirt movement!
This is my TNT four gore skirt pattern that still works primarily because the skirt has an elastic waistline. I could have gone with a straight or pencil skirt but I already had that silhouette in the brocade pieces and I didn't want both outfits to be that similar.
Now there are some vanilla/off white pieces in the closet made back in 2012 - but only the skirts have survived. It will be nice to have this skirt in two different fabrications this year for the spring/summer season.
Okay a little info about this skirt:
- It's unlined
- The seams are stitched down on either side to add a little sumthin' sumthin' to the skirt
- The hemline is machine stitched also
It was an easy sew that hits on another one of the spring trends!
Next I'm working on a UFO that I've resurrected and will make my second spring piece. Then I'm going back to my TNT dress pattern. I'm definitely in a sewing mood although I didn't include a casual look with this post because it's basically the same look that I shared last time just with a RTW jacket.
...as always more later!
