New Helena Skirt

I have just completed another pleated skirt in needle-cord for the Autumn/ Fall. I have christened it the 'Helena' skirt after a lovely friend of mine who is emigrating to the States this month :( This is the pattern that will be available on BurdaStyle shortly.

Do you think I should add pockets? In cord or a contrasting fabric?

BurdaStyle Skirt Pattern

Thanks so much to everyone who left a positive comment about this- I was really touched! Well, the pattern will be posted on BurdaStyle in a couple of weeks, but with a twist... I'm useless at keeping secrets, but I'm going to try hard to this time! Keep checking back- I will tell you my secret around the 18th September.

Another Port Elizabeth by Emily

This girl is lovely and her blog is really arty and interesting. She has made a great combo in this photo- using the PE pattern for the top.

More Port Elizabeth Makes...

Some more Port Elizabeth tops made by two great sewers who downloaded the pattern from Burdastyle: Angie (stripe), from Sew-I-Thought and Camelia, from Camelias and Crinolines. Check out the photos. I'm so thrilled- they look great! Well done ladies!
