I finished the skirt, so I have a spring suit complete. I scouted through my pattern collection till I found a very plain straight skirt with just two pieaces. I cut them from the wool and from the lining — the same lining fabric as I used for the jacket — and cut a facing for the waistband. I hemmed it just above the knee and closed it with a zipper and a button matching the jacket.
It’s very nice with the print top.
Here’s a peek at the lining:
