Pockets Full of Gold Skirt
September 9, 2009 4:51 pmI made this skirt last week. Here is my sister, Ana, wearing it for me.
This idea flashed in my head and HAD to go to my room to immediately make it.
It’s a navy blue, light canvas and it hits a few inches above the knee.
It has big, poofy pockets.
And inside the pockets I lined with a golden colored twill. (Hence the name.)
It’s like my own little secret.
I love a place to rest my hands.
Then when I thought I was done with the skirt I realized that it wasn’t quite finished. So I thought to add these tabs on the side with gold gentleman’s buttons. (Should have changed my serger thread to darker colored. rats!)
I’ve been wearing it with tall boots and a white shirt. I just love it.
It’s simple, classy and timeless. I think I’ll get a lot of use out of it.

I love the skirt! I suddenly feel the urge to go and make one with big pockets too. Maybe it is contagious, this skirt making business…

So cool. I have a plan to add pockets to all of my clothes as part of my wardrobe refashion pledge. I should get started.

Very Cute. I could never wear something like that though, it would make my curvy hips look HUGE. My pencil thin daughter on the other hand would look adorable in it.
