Last dwindling days

In the mad rush to feel like I had made the most of my school holidays, I made this.

It was from a pattern I created a couple of years ago, but sewed from some weird op shop fabric I was never really sure about... I like this version MUCH better!!

It is a stretchy, felted wool - unlike anything I have ever seen before. It was $10 for 2 metres from Tricia's, so I though it was worth a shot! I even have enough left to make a slim skirt. Because I'm not a purist, I lined it with a cheerful oriental-flavoured red faille. I like it!
