FINISHED! Sinbad & Sailor O'Keefe skirt

The O'Keeffe Skirt Sewing Pattern by Sinbad & Sailor
This was my first foray into the world of Sinbad & Sailor patterns. All the patterns are really cute but this is their latest release, the O'keefe skirt and needing some new work skirts in my wardrobe was taken by the pleating and pocket on one side.

This is a relatively quick and easy make. Sometime ago I had printed, taped and cut the pattern pieces out. Friday night I cut the fabric and threaded the machines and then Sunday,over about 3 hours I made it up.  I found the skirt too short for the style I like to wear to work so ended up attaching a 4 inch panel at the bottom, a la the moss skirt.  Hindsight says I should have just lengthened the skirt in the first place, but the panel works ok. It's not perfect but it is ok.

I didn't line the skirt either. The fabric I bought at Tessuti is a heavy navy twill (42% cotton and 58% polyamide) from Germany. It has a slight shiny and papery (?)  feel to it and I felt like it didn't really need lining... or maybe I was just being lazy.

Despite the pleating on one side, it is reasonably fitted.  I made the size 10 right out of the packet without any adjustments (except for the length). The fit is good. The waist is a teensy bit tight, but I'm hoping to squeeze into it regardless and with the onset of Spring hope for a little bit of weight loss around that area :)

Overall I think it will get some good wear to work during Spring and Summer and the pleated pocket on one side?  Great! It is a lovely design feature and is the perfect size for my hand.
