This cute little duck skirt is the first to get an airing, I started it so long ago I can't find the pattern I based it on. It was vintage, I can remember that much. I took it to school to show the girls how to sew the pleats and the invisible zip in. They named it 'the pukeko skirt', but I still think they look like ducks with their little short legs.
It's made in six panels with the pleats added later to get the correct fit. I put the invisible zip on the side to avoid having the split the centre back panel in half. The original pattern did not have a lining, so I cut one using the shape of pleated front and back panels and sewed it to the outside layer before attaching the waistband.
I have teamed it with a label-less op shopped top and suede Django and Juliette sling backs.
All I need now is some more summer weather.
Love the skirt!!
