Simplicity 8126
Took it from this to this!
Even though I've worn this item over 12 times AND it has been almost a year (June 2009!) since I posted its completion, it was never really finished. I never got around to putting the pockets which amazingly were the whole reason I wanted to make this skirt! I cut the first ones out as the pattern instructed; on the bias. That was a major mistake when you are making something out of stretch denim, the result was wavy and wiggly in the extreme. Then it took me a while to track down in my apartment if I had any scraps left over. But now after cutting the pockets on the straight grain I can finally call this item complete.
Because the sun was cooperating in my "photo studio"* I was able to take quite a few good pictures, there are more here on Flickr.
And now, I can tote me some stuff! POCKETS!!!

Oh very cute skirt. I love your version. I just made one with a similar design, out of a rough linen, and I love the pockets. They come in handy, as long as you don't forget that you put something in there. Speaking from experience here :)
Adorable! Look at those pockets! So worth the wait. ;)
I love pockets!!! My friends and I have been talking about unfair it is that all of our men's clothing has pockets, but not all of ours!
I love it (especially the pockets).
The pockets are so fun!
Wow, I am positively in love with this skirt. I need one for my closet.
Super cute, and SO wearable! This is a skirt you could just throw on in the morning without actually feeling "dressy". Love it (and the pockets)!
