Sew For Victory Outfit Complete!

So you already know about the blouse that I made a while ago for this sew-along, but I decided to make a skirt to go with it!

Ta-da!

It's not my usual 1950s circle skirt style, but I wanted a bit of a change. So I used this 1940s Simpicity sewing pattern...

Isn't it the cutest thing ever?!

Oh, and I used this 1940s Simplicity sewing pattern to make the blouse (I forgot to mention in the post about the mentioned blouse!)

Here's the blouse and the skirt together...

The first time I've made a complete outfit and I can say I'm pretty proud of it. :-D I reckon coral is going to be "my colour" for this year. I've got quite a bit left of the coral fabric I used for the skirt, so I think I'm going to make a matching blouse to wear as a smart and light summer suit! Like this but less awesomely printed. :-P

Anyway, I need to get uni work done before I even begin to think about another sewing project! Shall write another blog post soon to let you all know what uni work that is specifically. Some more exciting than others! ;-P
