My sewing moto has stalled lately, after a few sewing dissapointments in the wrap dress area (but more on this later). For the moment I need a quick, highly satisfactory project<\/strong> and this SisterMini<\/a> by Vanessa Pouzet perfectly worked as such.<\/p>\n

I am not a huge mini skirt person but I am all into the chunky sweater + dressy skirt combination this winter<\/strong>, and when I stumbled upon this<\/a> beauty at COS, I immediately wanted to wear it with a mini skirt. I would have bought this corduroy one<\/a> from the same brand but the pinks did not match. Thankfully I had the perfect fabric in my wardrobe, a beautiful pink and gold brocart fabric from Bennytex<\/a>. And jumping to conclusions, here is the outfit, which is exactly what I was looking for!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of sewing, the Sister Mini is a wonderful experience: in mimimum time you achieve a highly rewarding make, which is as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside. I have sewn three Vanessa Pouzet patterns up to now (including TheCape<\/a> for my daughter, reviewed here<\/a>) and I am extremely impressed by their quality: the number of pages to print from the PDF is tiny, the explanations are crystal-clear and full of humour, the finish is impecable and the sizing spot-on.<\/p>\n

As for the skirt itself, it is a very short mini skirt – my key rule is never to wear it when I have to take the Tube! Rule number 2 is to drop the heals and wear trainers, not something I\u2019m used to at all…<\/p>\n

There is a fully-detachable zip at the front, which is a key element of the skirt. I looked for ages on E-Bay to find the right one, with a pink gold zipper on a beige background, perfectly matching my fabric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The skirt is fully lined, in such a way that the inside is trully pretty – come on, have a look!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And joy, it also matches another of my recently bought jumper<\/a>s, hurrah! – what do you mean, yet another blush item in my wardrobe?<\/p>\n
