Colette Beignet

I spend more time on the couch with knittingneedles and even more time on the net than in my new sewingroom, but today I finished the Beignet skirt that I´ve been working on for a while (aka "that has been hanging over a chair for me to finally do the loops...") It´s my first Colette pattern but I did my usual ajustment for big "derriere". I used the largest size and my fitting assistent don´t do my hips justice... What I liked about the pattern in the first place was that "extra" button way down, buttoned skirts usually end the closure a little bit higher, and there are tons of different skirts made from this pattern on the net. The pattern in itself is relly nice it´s a booklet with a tissuepattern in a pocket at the end. and I also liked that there where seperate pattern pieces for the lining. I bought all the fabrics including buttons at Stof och Stil, a local chain. The voile for the lining was intended for a top but I changed my mind. I used 1,6 meters a lot less than the pattern say and thanks to research on PR I could save some money here. The high waist is a little strange after all years with skirts with facings but feels comfortable

Navy is kind of new to me but there´s a lot of nautical things going on right now, I was thinking of gold buttons first but decided on these at the end. I bought a seqiunned top I find it hard to spell it becourse it´s something I rarely use. but this one is not so sparkly and now I have something to wear whit it!
