My Tartan Winter Skirt

You can't deny that the tartan skirt has been the surprise star of fashion this year and when I first saw this style I knew that I really wanted one too. So I was super excited when I found a navy blue, red and white jersey tartan fabric for just 20p at my local fabric shop (I say local- it's actually a 2 hour drive away!). I completed this skirt in November and I've worn it almost everyday, that's how much I love it.

  By using a jersey I was able to make a slightly tighter fit. I made this skirt using the same technique as in my Boden skirt. The only change I made was to make the skirt slightly longer, so as to give that more sophisticated look that I love so much about the tartan skirt.

The hardest part of this project was the pattern matching due to the large block lines that are so unforgiving. But that is easily overcome if you're super careful and tack every thing before sending it through the sewing machine.

This was such a lovely skirt to make and is an even nicer skirt to wear.

I hope this has inspired you!
