new wool skirt

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

During my houndstooth obsession of 2009, I purchased this houndstooth wool on etsy. It’s so super thick and has been taking up so much space on my fabric shelf. I thought about getting rid of it the other day. But instead I had a sudden burst of inspiration and 20 minutes later it was this, a wool skirt. It’s so warm! I found these houndstooth tights at Target. Wool skirts and tights are a favorite winter combo. So warm and cozy!

I used my tutorial for making a gathered paper bag skirt, just with yardage instead of a sheet. And I didn’t a-line it, just straight. I used the whole piece of fabric, which I think was a little more than a yard…so it’s super billowy!

    It is super cute! I would totally pair it next time with a good belt to give you more waist definition! and I think it would help give more of the paper bag look cause you can really pull fabric up the top! Okay, I’m annoying. But seriously, you are so talented!

    I agree with Meaghan, a belt would so complete your outfit.
