Claudie is swingin’, and not just a little! Claudie is pure rock ‘n ’n roll with a 360° swirl. She features a high waist with a straight waistband, invisible zip closure and handy hidden pockets in the side seams! Here at Fibre Mood, we went for mid-length, but Claudie can easily be made shorter or longer. From needle to thread, we show you how on www.fibremood.com. And there you have it, we’ve come full circle. Time to twirl!

Fabric advice

The range of options when making Claudie are nearly endless as long as you pick something with no stretch. Get started with fabric with a fluid drape, e.g. viscose (satin) or viscose crepe. Or select something with more structure, such as poplin, baby rib corduroy, suede, denim, flannel, gabardine, or tweed. Solids and prints (e.g. floral, striped, check, etc.) both work. Keen to wear an ultra edgy skirt this winter? We’ve got one word for you. Leather! And for a party-ready version of the Claudie, lurex is where it's at.
