Sometimes I want to mix it up! I just love my new Butterick 5566 skirts.Now I know this Italian ponte panel print from Tessuti will not be to everyone's taste, but I couldn't resist its playfulness. I cut my skirt rather meanly to preserve the orange 'high rise buildings' section of the panel.
Both skirts feature bright orange poly linings, invisible zips. The only thing I'd do differently is not use a stretch interfacing on the waist facing. I think a slightly weightier interfacing might have stopped that slightly stretchy feeling you get at the end of a long day at the office.
I have a long list of winter sewing ahead of me. Next up - two finishing off jobs - a faux leather mini skirt for my DD and my "Corporate Should Never Be Boring"leopard print trench jacket.
Happy sewing...
