Smuggler's Daughter Package

A few weeks ago, I finally decided to use my Smuggler's Daughter gift card that I won from the CSC Wrap Along.  It was so hard to make a decision that it took me a while, but finally I decided what I wanted.  Yesterday, the door bell rang and I figured it was more Christmas gifts to wrap.  Then I saw the label on the box and I did a little happy dance.  It was my Smuggler's Daughter order.

When I opened the box, this is what I saw:


This is my first order from Smuggler's Daughter, and let me tell you...I am quite impressed.  Wanna see what was inside this pattern paper with a red bow?


Both of these great fabrics are still available.  The knit fabric is called Lucky Lavender Knit.  It feels dreamy.  Perfect mid weight knit, and the color...it is really a grey purple.  I just LURVE it!

The wool plaid is an Italian 50% virgin wool and 50% cotton blend.  It is called Lake Lavanda Plaid.  I didn't realize that it was a textured wool, but I really like it.  It matches the knit really well.  It has a nice drape and is not as stiff as some wool fabrics.  It is almost like a really thick flannel.

There will be a shirt and skirt combo in the new year.  Count on that!  Now I just have to figure out what kind of a skirt to make.  So many possibilities...decisions, decisions!!!

What type of skirt do you all think I should make?  A half circle?  A maxi length skirt?  A pencil skirt?  I just am not sure where I will be headed with this, but I am excited to get there.

What is your favorite skirt pattern that would work with this great plaid wool?  Talk to me friends, because I need some creative inspiration here.
