I have finally finished my Charlotte skirt that I was doing with the By Hand sewalong I just needed to do the hem! Here it is in its full glory complete with removable peplum
And here is the back, I made a button hole and used a vintage style button. The herringbone fabric and buttons are available at Trixie Lixie
The lovely blouse was made by my teenage daughter and is the Colette Violet blouse, the lovely Ivory Georgette fabric and pattern for this are also available at Trixie Lixie.
I am now looking forward to joining in with the Elisalex dress sewalong, for more info follow the link
Congrats! Love the idea of the removable peplum x

Thank you, the removable peplum is so that I can wear the skirt to work but also jazz it up for going out!

Beautiful skirt. My daughter has just asked me to make her prom dress – very scary!

Oh yes, I am trying to teach my daughter to sew and make her own prom dress but I think I will end up making it for her. There are some great patterns on my website by Eliza M, they are based on actual vinatge dresses so Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Marilyn. Good Luck!
