Ginger spice - that was my favourite skirt you know

There was a brief couple of hours between finishing work for Christmas and going back again when I wasn't ill with a cough and cold. In that time I managed to make the Colette Ginger skirt. I know everyone has raved about this skirt but I wasn't prepared for quite how perfect it is.
Made from just over a metre of corduroy from East Street Market (£2 a metre) and created in next to no time - this is what we sew for.
It's perfect - the ideal shape for me. I've pretty much worn it non-stop since I made it - it's gone to work, it's gone shopping down Oxford Street, it's gone to the pub (The Roebuck on Great Dover Stret, SE1 if you must know) and it has been perfect for all purposes.

To paraphrase my favourite band, The Wedding Present - That was my favourite skirt you know. If you have no idea what I am talking about look them up now!

Woo the Roebuck!

Your Ginger looks awesome, too. I love my Begniet but I've not got this one, despite Sunni's awesome Sew along for it last year...
