I love it. Polyester Double Knit, that is. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s genetic (I hear that my Grandma used to make everything out of it.) Most of my sewing friends cringe and make faces, but I think it makes the most amazing skirts. They don’t wrinkle, they are indestructible and hard to stain, they are heavy enough to hang nicely and warm enough I can wear them way more months of the year in Minnesota! (I will grant you, once it gets hot and humid, I will put these skirts away to wait again for fall.) This one is made from Butterick 4686 and a piece of fabric my friend Sheryl found at the thrift store for $2.99. I don’t think she believed me when I said I would wear it. She found another piece for me of bright blue with tiny little anchors. Smile.

Smiling back. This is so much cuter as a skirt on you than it would have been in a leisure suit!
Bet we could probably find another piece of that vintage double knit around here someplace if we looked! It makes a nice looking skirt – enjoy wearing it…I see you’ve broken out the sandals for the year.
