And the...skirt?

 The fabric used for the previous pair of tights just didn't seem suitable for a shirt.

Now, reason would say if it's not suitable for a shirt, it's even less suitable for a skirt, but here we are

As Easy as 1,2,3: 3

 So, I made the tights

And then I made the turtleneck

And then I still had quite a bit of that pale pink (with subtle gray heathering, which is why I used gray thread) rib knit left, so I decided...why not make a skirt?

I don't generally make skirts from knits, because that seem so...indulgent?  There are some garments that can only be made from knits, and skirts--especially swirly swooshy skirts--are not one of those.

But I really wanted to use up a lot of the remaining fabric...plus...the idea of a possible outfit of shirt + skirt + tights all made from the same fabric just seemed funny.

So I grabbed McCall's 3185 from 1987

and chose view C, the shortest view.

This skirt...is not short.
