Giant houndstooth skirt - progress report
I had about an hour and a half yesterday to sew - and here's where I've got so far.
- Skirt constructed (except the kick pleat) & zipper in
- Lining not started
- One seam hong-kong finished - the rest need finishing.
Once the skirt was constructed, I tried it on, and wow! giant houndstooth is very flattering. I love this skirt!
For a pattern, I used Simplicity 4047. I'm going to make the top too, once I'm done with the skirt, as I'm going to try to enter PatternReview's November challenge - One Pattern Wardrobe. I know I can't win, but I like participating. It motivates me to sew.

Yay for giant houndstooth! I've yet to start mine, but I know what I want to do with it!
THe skirt looks great. Yay for Team Mondo!
It is a very pretty skirt! Love your Mondo tribute skirt.
Where did you get your material. I can't find houndstooth material for clothing anywhere.
