I don&#8217;t know what it is with this skirt, but as soon as I saw it 6 months ago, I thought IT&#8217;S YOU!!! There&#8217;s something about this skirt. I don&#8217;t know what, but there&#8217;s something.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>About the fabric:<\/strong> This is where all my dilemma started. To be honest, this is the second skirt I&#8217;ve made, having completely failed at the first attempt. I had gone and bought some kind of brown gabardine&#8230; so I won&#8217;t tell you what it looked like when the skirt was finished&#8230; I had this kind of big thing around my waist, like a parachute. Seriously. It was just awful! It kind of reminded me of my misadventure with the <a href=\"http:\/\/lapetitemaisoncouture.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/25\/la-jupe-elisalex-patron-by-hand-london\/\">Elisalex Remix<\/a> skirt. But since I really wanted this skirt with pockets, I didn&#8217;t stop there. I went back hunting, this time to come home with a very light cotton, actually a bit too light!       <\/p>\n<p><strong>About the realization:<\/strong> It was fun though. I made the skirt a bit shorter than the original pattern. And for the assembly&#8230; You had to think about it! These pattern makers are such engineers!  <\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Correct. But next time I&#8217;ll choose a slightly heavier cotton. But for this time, with the parachute incident&#8230; sorry but I was just too scared to try anything heavier.  <\/p>\n<p>A big thank you to Emmanuel for these fun photos&#8230; just like your shoes by the way! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lapetitemaisoncouture.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/emmanuels-cool-shoes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-587\" src=\"http:\/\/lapetitemaisoncouture.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/emmanuels-cool-shoes.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Emmanuel's cool shoes!\" width=\"300\" height=\"113\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>___________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>[ENGLISH]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>[laPetiteMaisonCouture images]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This skirt is based on pattern of skirt 126, of the 05\/2011 Burda magazine (Thanks to Anna for sending me her magazine from Marseille &#8211; south of France)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><i>[Burda image]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So let talk a bit about this skirt\u2026 I first saw it at  <a href=\"http:\/\/joliesbobines.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/09\/ma-jupe-a-grandes-poches\/\">Jolies bobine&#8217;s<\/a>\u2026 As you can see, this is a certified copy of her skirt (Jolies bobines, please forgive me for this sin).
