Woolf

 I thrifted some blanket weight wool flannel a while ago--the original owner had probably gotten a discount, because it had that big ugly seam that finishers use to connect yardages for processing.  It was pretty close to one edge, though, so when I cut it apart, there was still about 40" of 60" wide fabric left.  Not enough, alas, for my dream of a circle skirt (not at a decent length, at least), but I was still able to use Simplicity 2666 for a somewhat authentically vintage shape

I started optimistically thinking I could make it the full shorter length, but, no, there wasn't enough for that, either

So the result is more "Vintage 1970s", but that works, too

I made the pattern's single pocket on the right side.

I know it's possible to put a pocket on the side with a side zipper, but I didn't want to try that with this thick fabric...which I didn't have enough of  to make the single pocket full-size, anyway.

The zipper is vintage, with metal teeth.  I think it's interesting how a lot of metal tooth zippers feel like they don't work well at all until they're sewn into whatever they're closing.  The button is more warm ivory (fake mother of pearl) compared to the fabric's winter white, but it's fine.

The waistband is on a bias angle, using the strip of fabric left when I had to re-cut the front pieces shorter after I discovered I didn't have enough to cut the back that long--to keep the side seam horizontal stripe pattern matching, I had to cut the new front pieces from within the original front pieces, instead of just cutting off the excess length.

The navy blue serger thread wasn't as out of place in this project as it has been in several previous projects.  I could have been more aggressive, in terms of serging close to the seam stitching, because there were several areas where the need to eke out the pieces from the limited yardage, while also attempting some semblance of pattern matching, meant the seam allowances weren't as...complete...as they could have been, so serging at the normal width missed dome stuff.

To maintain as much length as possible and to avoid dealing with turning a very curved hemline, I finished it with bias tape.  I was prepared to make some, but I had enough of this ivory (close enough) bias tape that was salvaged from...something.

I edge stitched it from the inside, without worrying about how precisely far from the edge of the skirt it was.  No-one's going to get down there with a ruler to check my precision.

I had a pair of pants in high school that had about this same color scheme of plaid, only made from cotton and much smaller scale, so this skirt makes me smile.  I've loved plaid for a long, long time.
