McCall's 6966 Maxi Skirt

ペンキ塗りでいそがしくて放置していたけど、マキシスカートやっと完成。3週間もかかったわよ。
布はこの前犬が乘ってたなると模様のニットね。

Took me three weeks, but I finally finished my maxi skirt. Yipee.

The pattern is McCall's 6966. I made a maxi length with flat waist band (yoke). My measurements put me in size M, but I made size XS and I think it worked.

I also shortened the skirt at the hem by 4.5" (I'm 5'3"), which ended up ever so slightly shorter than I wanted. I folded up the hem by 3/8" instead of 5/8"hem allowance that the pattern called for.

The fabric is a double brushed poly/Lycra jersey that the dog was nesting on the other day. Even though it's polyester, the brushed finish on both sides of the fabric makes the fabric very soft and not sticky.

I don't like the skirt sticking on my butt and thighs when I stand up from a chair, so I added a lining using the short skirt pattern (view A). The lining fabric is a mesh so it doesn't add weight.

This is a VERY simple pattern. There are front and back skirt patterns but they are identical if you are not making the color block version or high-low version, so you only need one skirt pattern piece and one waist band (yoke) pattern piece. Uber simple, quick project (though in reality it took me 3 weeks).

My next project is a yoga mat bag. But I haven't decided on the fabric, so possibly a simple T-shirt to go with this maxi skirt.
