If you haven\u2019t had a chance yet to sew that Extra-Sharp Pencil Skirt<\/a> that you\u2019ve wanted to, here is your motivation to get one done! We are happy to announce that we will be hosting an Extra-Sharp Pencil Skirt sew-along June 25th and 26th. And we hope you will join us!<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out Liesl\u2019s introduction post<\/a> where she offers lots of fabric as well as styling ideas. She also put together a Pinterest board<\/a> for the skirt. Also see some creations<\/a> made by our testers.<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

This classic, unlined pencil skirt will have you looking sharp whenever you wear it. The skirt includes side panels, a back yoke detail, and a back walking vent. Because it has no seams, the front panel allows use of almost any patterned fabric, including bold prints. View A is just-above-the-knee length with straight-cut side panels. View B ends just below the knee and features bias-cut side panels. Fit can be easily customized using the side-panel seams.<\/p>\n

Suggested Fabrics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suitable for light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like twill, canvas, linen, denim, wool suiting, and faux leather. Woven fabrics with some stretch are ideal for this style.<\/p>\n

Meet the Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five talented ladies have been gathered to form a panel. They all hail from the Liesl + Co. Advisors Circle<\/a> and they are: Camelia<\/a>, Darcy<\/a>, Emily<\/a> (who will also be taking the photos for the sew-along), Lisa<\/a>, and Meredith<\/a>. Each panelist will talk about their design decisions and fabric choices on Thursday June 14th.<\/p>\n
