Simplicity 5914 - again!

This is actually the fourth time I've made Simplicity 5914, and the second time I've made View A, the long, flared version (I've previously blogged about View B). Clearly, I like this pattern.

For this go 'round, I used a lovely tweed-look RPL from Gorgeous Fabrics (still available here!). It has a wonderfully nubby texture to it, and I think it drapes beautifully in this skirt.

I sewed the size 16, shortened it by 1.5" and used 1/2" side seams and an invisible zipper. I feel like it fits me really well. Yay!

My first completed project of 2014!
