Tweed skirt

When the weather was cold the other week, I fancied a warm tweed skirt, then I realised I had one already.
I've had it for some years, it was what I describe as a 'cinderella' skirt, with those dangling corners and jagged spaces. It has a simple elastic waist, and soon after I bought it (in a sale) I started to wear it back to front as one of the spaces came quite high up the back, so I took to wearing it at the front and showing a bit of knee.

This before picture shows the back of the skirt after I had cut off some of the dangly bits. I had to judge the final length carefully, as I didn't want to have to fill in too many gaps. Fortunately the hem was just finished with an overlock, so I continued this.
Took a bit of excess fabric from the sides too, and managed to fill in all the gaps except the big one at the front. For this, I decided to fill it with a frill made from some of the cut offs. I did think about using lace to give an underskirt effect, but stuck with the self fabric. Made a strip, overlocked the raw edge, gathered it, and stitched it in behind the gap. Now it's a nice knee length skirt to wear with long boots, and no more cold knees.
Sorry my pics are all on hangers, I don't have a dress form, and OH is my photographer, and usually absent when I need him!
