Back in July, I mentioned that I'd quite like to try a few more sewing projects with corduroy. It is definitely the easiest material for making clothes, in my experience - it just kindof 'behaves' itself. So the other day, I ordered a meter of navy corduroy from eBay and it arrived this morning!
I made this skirt in about an hour, and it was very very simple to make. Basically, its a thick waistband with a gathered panel of fabric stitched into it. The 'design feature' is an exposed zip down the side, mainly because I'm not very good at doing hidden zips!
I wore it with my favourite top and scarf, which was a hidden treasure from my old dressing-up box.
The burgundy coat was thrifted at a carboot for a grand total of £1.50. It was originally from Primark! They really do make some very nice things. I have to say, I'm not 100% keen on the coat because it's a bit too 'victorian' for my tastes, but I'm going to see if my opinion changes when it gets a bit colder.

I've also ordered some moss-green corduroy fabric which should arrive fairly soon. I'm probably going to use it to make an identical skirt - and I might do a tutorial on it if anyone would like one?

Wow what a beautifully made skirt! :) <3
The skirt looks great, a tutorial would be amazing!
it's a lovely coat, the colour and buttons look great!
Very pretty skirt, a tutorial would be so nice!
I really like that coat! The color is wonderful. I've always liked that sort of raspberry color with navy.
A tutorial would be great I think! I always have ideas to make skirts out of fabric I see but I'm a bit hopeless with pattern cutting and don't have any idea how... x
oh wow, you made that skirt? i'm hopeless at sewing. corduroy is such a lovely material - so comfortable and autumnal! you look so pretty!
The skirt is awesome and the coat was such a great find :D

A tutorial would be really cool, because your skirt is really pretty (and I have no imagination as for sewing).
And if you decide you don't like your coat... I looove it it's so pretty ! I'd be happy to buy it lol
A tutorial would be lovely as I eventually get my sewing machine in 9 days! And I've made anything myself that wasn't in textiles lessons!
Your coat is lovely! I love the colour of it, it's very autumny. :)

Amazing skirt! Yes pleeease do a tutorial I need learn how to use my Mum's sewing machine.

skirt is adorable, a tutorial would be great!
I would love a tutorial! & I absolutely worship the coat, it's gorgeous (:
Love the skirt and a tutorial would be awesome. I was trying to make a skirt similar to that but using suede. Too difficult to work with, so I think I might have to switch to corduroy, since you say it's so easy to work with.
oh wow what a gorgeous corduroy skirt! i actually think the whole exposed zipper works really well with the skirt :) i would like to see your corduroy experiments using different colours of the corduroy material.
that red wine coat of yours is gorgeous <3
well done on the skirt and you really did get a bargain with that coat!! lovely...
looby xx
okay i love the skirt.
AND the jacket is to die for.

I love your skirt so much, and it looks so nice with that top (:
