Pattern: 02-2010-104
Fabric: Stretch cotton sateen print from Hancock Fabrics from summer 2009
Notions: invisible white zipper
As much I love this skirt, I ended up giving it away to my sister-in-law due to sizing. I like to wear my bottoms at my lower waist. The pattern specifically said that the top of the waistband was going to be at my waist, and I chose to ignore it. It wasn't blatantly ignored... I reasoned it through saying that the little bit of lycra would be enough to make the skirt hit my lower waist. I was wrong because it was interfaced! Haha... I could wear, but I wouldn't be happy with it. It's where it will be loved and worn. :)
On another note, the waistband got a little wonky and the "stitch in the ditch" isn't looking so hot... I think it's because I was originally going to omit the interfacing and then changed my mind, which ended up going on the lining/inside portion.
But on a good note... my invisible zipper looks much better than my last skirt.
Even though I didn't end up with the skirt, I really like the pattern and will give it another shot. Happy creating!

Congrats on completeing your first Burda style skirt. Lovely fabric.
I think this looks too cute!! i'm sooo loving this print - i'm almost sad you had to give it up, but I'm sure your sis-in-law appreciated it :)
and ooooooooh gurrrrl I know what you mean about 'stitch-in-the-ditch' (!!!) I start off ok, then get a lil too confident, then veer off the 'ditch' pretty badly :/

Ooh, beautiful skirt! Job well done on that invisible zipper. They make me want to tear my hair out...LOL!
I already quite of wanted to do that skirt but now, I'm sure I'll do it !
I mostly use Burda mag patterns and I've learned to never look at the instructions unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary !^^
Cute skirt and I love that fabric!

@Sarah: There are many times I tore my hair out trying to do them, too! :)

Such a pretty skirt. I was wondering why you were so quiet... I didn't know you'd switch to a new blog.
I love your skirt, the design is simple yet catchy and this fabric is a beauty!
