redhotpepper 6/2/09Very cute. This one is on my list!

Leslie in Austin 6/2/09Cute skirts! Love the pockets!! Not much help for this skirt, but the latest Threads has a nice article on preventing show-through on summer fabrics.
* * *
Christas 6/2/09Both versions are very cute!
* * *
Sallygirl 6/2/09So cute! I especially like the outfit on the left, so feminine. I may have the pocket show-through issue on a pair of Burda capris I have cut out. I'm going to pretend it's not there. :D
* * *
AnneM 6/2/09Love the style. It looks great. You don't stand still in real life, so I doubt those 'tummy pointing arrows' will be very obvious as you move around. Good idea on the pocket solution (on the fold).
* * *
Ann Smith 6/2/09These are terrific skirts. Don't worry about the arrows or the pocket issue. Who cares when the garment is so great?
* * *
JoanneM 6/2/09Both look great. On my list!
* * *
MLoyet 6/2/09Fantastic job on the skirts! I think they look fantastic. As for the "tummy pointing" I don't think I even would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out!!
* * *
Karen6790 6/2/09Great save on the white skirt. I agree with weeknight sewing - I do a lot of it, but I save the projects that require real concentration for the weekends when I can both think and see straight. This is definitely a staple skirt, I might have to give this one a try.
* * *
Mufffet 6/2/09They both look so cute! You couldn't tell how much grief you went through sewing them, as they both look so trim and well fitted! :) The white one is absolutely smashing!!
* * *
Linda L 6/3/09Great looking skirts. I like lining the skirts, they hang and fit more attractively IMHO.
* * *
becca a 6/3/09These are beautiful skirts and they look great on you.
* * *
Leora 6/3/09cute skirts!
* * *
CynthiaSue 6/3/09dang, secretarial skirt hotness! i didn't even notice this skirt now I can't wait to sew it!!
* * *
Kbenco 6/4/09I really want to make this skirt now. Thanks for your thorough review.
