Pencil Skirt

My first ever make!

The Charlotte Skirt from BY HAND London

Made during a sewing class at The Stitchery

The first garment I ever made, this skirt has a special place in my heart, and I still wear it. I learned a lot from this one including why it’s a good idea to leave a bit of ease in a skirt and the secret fun of linings … but most importantly it made me want to do more making.

Wear: I still wear this one. I wore it to my job interview, and I still get a little buzz each time I wear it.
