elizabeth_mnThey all need waist facings and hems, but are otherwise skirts now.
The Basic Black Skirt That Goes With Everything:
It's fine wool twill from Treadle, 5 gores.
This next one was supposed to be an almost exact copy of a skirt I made 5 or 6 years ago and somehow lost, I think in a hotel room in Illinois. I've always wanted to re-make it but felt kind of lame making the exact same project over, but finally I just gave in. Unfortunately, the contrast between the two fabrics is not as good as the original.
It's hard to tell in the first pic, but it's alternating panels of plain wool twill (scraps form the above skirt) and wool pinstripe (scraps from a vest for the husband). There are 12 panels total.
And one in green raw silk. Also 5 gores.
They all have invisible zippers.

I will probably try to finish these on Monday.
