Amazing Fit Skirt – Simplicity 2475

~ Pamela Klingensmith

I’ve been looking for a TNT skirt pattern that can be used for casual, denim skirt and flip flop days yet versatile enough to dress up with a blouse and jacket for a suited look.  This one fits the bill.   The fabric is some kind of a wool/poly mix that I picked up at Hancock’s some time ago.  It was very inexpensive fabric that I intended to use solely as my muslin.  It ended up being a wearable muslin.  The pocket flaps are made from faux black leather and backed with black satin lining fabric.  I also used the black satin lining fabric for the kick pleat underlay.  Here’s a side shot:

The fit truly is amazing.  It’s very comfortable without being sloppy or frumpy.  I plan to make the next one in a red linen fabric with a lining.  I didn’t line this one as I didn’t want to purchase any extra material since this was intended as a muslin.  A complete review of this pattern can be read at Pattern Review

Sewing is my passion and I always have a notion to sew, but sometimes I get distracted with other crafty endeavors. I share my creative accomplishments (and sometimes failures) here on my blog. I am a licensed Martha Pullen beginning sewing instructor and serger instructor. For 5 years, I taught new owners how to use their Bernina sewing machines at my local Bernina dealer, and for 2 years I taught serger project classes at my local Baby Lock dealer. These days, my professional time is spent retailing handmade purse and bag making supplies and patterns. I also sell a small selection of fabric as well as my handmade bags and purses.
