Notes	The fabric are old draperies which I got from a friend, free of charge. In my third eye I immediately saw an outfit. This skirt, a coat, and an ‘English Lord’ vest (all patterns from Lekala, which also listed at this site). This pencil skirt fits amazingly! I always hide the top of a skirt, as I have the opposite of an hourglass figure. My waist has the same measurements as my hips, and in between those a ‘Michelin guy roll’. But this skirt fits me so fine! Will make several of those, a long one as well (then no pencil skirt but some wider). Had to make the skirt twice, as the first time the waist was too wide (the measurement at the waist 2 cm wider than my actual measurement), and as there are no side seams but an ingenious fit at the front, I had to reverse what I had done in order to make the skirt smaller (I did not baste it so…). I t makes a lovely (free) two piece, English Landlord style. Very happy with this skirt!
