Black Linen Mix Skirt

Oh no, what was I thinking? I class this make as such a monumental fail that I am not going into too much detail. Let’s just say that although the idea was sound, the practicality was not so good.

Insufficient fabric to make the panels wide or long enough. Too much gathering in back panel. Should have shaped the side seams. Different batch of fabric used for patch pockets.

Bound seam and hem allowances

That said this skirt is beautifully finished on the inside. Bound seam and hem allowances with a contrast lining to the pockets that is nearly completely hidden!

Black linen mix button-thru’ skirt with back elasticated waistband

Now that I know all the things I did wrong when I next sit down to make a Button Thru’ Skirt with part elasticated waist I shall know exactly how to go about it!
