We love what Jen did with the Everyday Skirt pattern! She created her own block printed fabric. We love unique one-of-a-kind pieces like that! Here\u2019s Jen to give you the scoop.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nPattern used:<\/strong> Liesl + Co. Everyday Skirt<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Fabric used:<\/strong> Linen (hand-printed)<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Did the fabric work well?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it did! I\u2019m a printmaker and often print my own fabric. The linen base I used in this project is one that that I\u2019d worked with many times before, but the print was a new design. I\u2019ve since sewn two more: one in a green shirting cotton, and another in a textured gray flannel.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

How did the making go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the first skirt I\u2019d sewn. I chose the pattern because it doesn\u2019t require an invisible zipper (which I didn\u2019t know how to insert at the time) and because it has a flat front waistband instead of an elastic one. The instructions were very easy to follow, and I was surprised at how quickly it came together, and how professional and polished the skirt looked when it was finished.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The side pockets! One of the joys of being able to sew is the ability to put pockets in all my clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
