BYW : The Pencil Skirt B5566

9:09:00 PM shundra davis

Week Four was " The Pencil Skirt" our lead blogger for this week was the lovely RedPantsDesigns!!

Ruqayyah showed us several different style options for The Pencil Skirt !

She also showed us RTW Options if sewing aint yo thang !

One thing I love about the pencil skirt is that there are so many different variations ! You have your Jean Pencil Skirt that works for work days or evenings out with family or friends ! And you have your Ponte Knit Skirt or Leather skirt that can be also dressed up or down !!

The Pencil Skirt is a piece that can EASILY be mixed and matched with just about any piece of your wardrobe .

For the tutorial I decided to go with a leather and Ponte Mix Skirt !

I had had this leather for some time so why not use it on a pencil skirt !!

Pattern used :

http://butterick.mccall.com/b5566-products-13457.php?page_id=367

This pattern was so easy to follow and I will be making another....

I do wish that I had cut a smaller size but overall I love the look of the skirt!

I love the contrast of the Leather and Pomte !

Here is the tutorial to make your own !!!

Until Next Time XOXOXOX !!
