Cloned Ponte Pencil Skirt
UFO alert! This project has been in the UFO pile for a long time and I’m not sure why. The only probable reason is that other more interesting things got in the way.

Looking through my pattern stash/library I realised that quite a lot of my old Vogue patterns are graded 'Advanced/Plus difficile'. Why is that phrase so appealing to me?
