Itch to Stitch Pattern Recap

I been thinking it might be fun to revisit some of my makes and style them differently, maybe with some ideas from Pinterest.

Lindy Petal Skirt in Floral Scuba Knit

I have been trying to do a good job of using my leftover yardage.   I had enough of this fabulous scuba knit to make Kaitlyn a skirt. 

Sewing for a Daughter - Lindy Skirt and Marianne Dress

Kaitlyn is a Junior in college (majoring in secondary math education) and starting to spend a couple mornings a week observing in the classroom.  This means her wardrobe is changing from college student to sometime college student and sometime teacher. This teacher wardrobe needs more professional clothes that still look young and stylish.  She is on a college student and newlywed budget, which enters mom to help with some clothes. The first one is the Itch to Stitch Lindy Petal Skirt, elastic waist pencil skirt with front overlaps.  I added 1" to the length, Kaitlyn is 5'8" tall and wants her skirts and dresses to hit right above the knee for teacher wear.  This skirt is a free pattern!
