Holiday Wardrobe: Indigo Bias Skirt from Mood Fabrics

by two.sewing.sisters, posted in Sewing Project, Travel

Exploring London in our first bias-cut skirt! We are late to the party on bias-cut skirts, but we see more in our future.  For the pattern, we explored a few options and landed on the Indigo skirt from Mood Fabrics. It looked quite full in the hem when we first cut it but bias being bias it sat beautifully.  The fabric weight was key and this deep green from Drapers Fabric fit the bill. 

The top is the Grace Top by Friday Pattern Company in black jersey knit from Fabric Deluxe. A nice cowl neck detail to compliment the shape of the skirt.
