I mentioned it during Me Made May 19, but I’ve been wearing a white flower skort to skating practice regularly. This particular skort isn’t actually officially finished yet, although I do not see it becoming actually finished ever. This has not stopped me from wearing it. The thing that makes it incomplete is that the waistband is a single unfinished layer made of two pieces that were supposed to become a double layer finished waistband. I even wore it during our most recent roller derby tournament.
Last weekend, I was very productive and made another skort from some scuba type stuff that has been in the stash since I finished this item. Said dress is no longer in the collection but a square leftover piece was. So I cut out another of the straight skorts from those remains. This version has additional panels in the back and a thinner front piece to move the pockets further to the front. It also has a self waistband on the outside. On the inside is a thin mesh knit that also form the shorts.
For the first time, I hemmed the shorts, so we’ll see what that does. This skort is finished with some twin-needling on the pockets and waistband. When I wore it around the house on Sunday it was very comfortable.
It seems that I’ll be skorting all day long again. – I’m still amazed that the addition of some shorts under a skirt can totally remove my reluctance to wear that skirt. Skorts are the best!
