Another skirt to put in an otherwise overflowing closet

 

 

 

 

Found this image from Google but is the correct image of the skirt

I just recently ordered this around August 2014 and while I was searching for something else I happened upon this forgotton skirt pattern that I wanted to order a couple of years ago but being a student with outstanding loans my funds were slim at the time. 

However, I bought enough cotton-poly fabric that I originally meant to make dress pants out of but used some of that to make this fabulous skirt.
Some years ago I purchased a lot of silk georgette to make scarves out of for past Christmas gifts and had lots left over which I found in my stash and decided to make this lovely contrasting tie out of.
It didn't need any interfacing because I wanted it to be floppy and flowing, and my haunch was right...it worked.

What I didn't know was that this skirt was meant to be lined.  Now, I don't mind because using facings tends to be bulky, and a bemburg rayon lining fit the bill.  Plus it cut down on the interfacing used in the overall construction.

I am telling you, this pattern kicked butt!  I would recommend it to anyone and everyone wanting this look!  It fits like a bloody dream.

9/5 STARS!!!! 180 %

CB latent zipper and lining avec understitching

1.5 cm hem with left biased hand blind stitching

 

Sewn through all layers the tie to the fabric.  Makes for easier alterations

Being this is a quick review, I have talked about this in my video:

And that is about as much as I can get out of it.  I normally would have kept the tie stitching latent but I changed my mind, and I think it saved time in an otherwise busy life.
