My clothes match my soft furnishings

I bought this fabulous Amy Butler fabric a few months ago. It's heavy weight cotton and I've had it in my 'to do' pile for yonks. A few weeks back, I finally finished this skirt. It is the first thing I've made from a pattern! My sister-in-law helped me put it together which was kind of her.


Reasons I'm proud of this effort:
1. It fits - nicely
2. I made it all by myself (verbal instructions from said SIL still counts as me making it)
3. It is beautiful, beautiful fabric
4. It is fully lined
5. I got to use my overlocker
6. It has hard things like darts, a zip and magic waist tape stuff
7. I made it from a pattern

Yay me!

p.s. I cannot wear this skirt when I am near my front door. Scroll down to find out why...
