I'm calling these skirts my summer patio skirts. I bought this pattern on a Kwik Sew sale even when I had the Easy Sewing book. These skirts had a back center seam instead of both being cut on the fold. A really silly thing to do because I could have just added a seam and cut the pattern pieces out how I wanted to. I cut the longest length from 2 pieces of $1.00 to $2.00 cotton fabric.
Instead of using the center back seam for a walking vent, I did what the book suggested to do and did a right side seam walking vent. I didn't go as far up, but I could have gone a little farther up than I did. This is about 8 inches. It just shows the front of my lower leg up past the ankle. I wear these with sandals.

The inside of the vent. A quick and fast sew job.

I bought some new summer t shirts and I've been wearing these around the house, soon to swim lessons and I really like them. I'm working on a fall version in a lightweight fabric I forgot the name of. It's cut out but I haven't been able to get back to it. I think though with a sweater set and flat loafers or pumps, it will be a nice go out to dinner skirt, a change from pants.
