Skirt Finished

Here it is. I even posted a Pattern Review if you want to read all the details. (I added a PR widget in my sidebar too. Seems to be working.)

Here's a side view. I didn't have to make many adjustments except for shortening it. I have what's called a tilted waist (lower in the front than the back), so I cut an inch and a half off the front waist. It has a little dip in it, just like my tummy. Also I shortened the bottom section (just above the flounce). It looked kind of weird to me at first, but I knew I would be dwarfed by this thing if I didn't shorten it substantially.

I used a scrap of batik fabric (this was ds' baby sling fabric, ah the memories) to make a facing instead of lining it. The invisible zipper went in like a charm and I even managed to match up the back yoke seam across it.

Here's the model wearing hers.

I think this is the Spring 2007 issue of Burda Plus. Burda now Archives World of Fashion, but not Plus. Anyone know if they're available anywhere?

This is my reward for finally cleaning out the sewing room. I haven't felt like making anything because the mess was overwhelming. Now I have all the fabric tubs out of sight and I'll start working on some curtains and seat cushions for the sewing room soon.
