Oh, I am so thrilled with this new skirt. It was once a turtleneck dress made with OOP Vogue 8939 nearly five years ago. In that time, it shrank in the length and the armscye seam became distorted. But what also happened was the merino wool became almost felted into a lovely texture. And it still fit in the width.
I just cut and tried to see if it might work.
And thankfully it did. I serged the upper edge and sewed a casing for the one inch wide elastic. And the best part is that it is now part of a matching set. Actually two. I can wear the skirt with this cardigan sweater or this pullover Toaster sweater. All three pieces are made in the same wool fabric.
