Hollyburn Skirt & Wacky Fabric


Do you remember the wacky fabric I posted a while back?  I really wasn't sure about how all the colors and crazy flowers would translate into the Hollyburn Skirt.  Rachel from My Messings hosted a Sew Along and I learned a lot.  I learned how to line a skirt  and how to finish the seams with French Seams and Hong Kong Seams. 


The skirt on the inside ~ I used French Seams to make the inside pretty :) I used cotton batiste to line the skirt.  It is so soft and comfy.
My zipper ~ I should add some top stitching to the waistband
My zipper - it's a little crooked but that's okay - I'm fine with it

 A HUGE Thank You to Rachel for an awesome sew-along!!  I really appreciate the time and effort that went into her posts.  It made the process so much easier for me.
 Enough talking ~ here she is!!:



 So my verdict on the wacky fabric?  I LOVE IT!!!  I really can't wait to wear this skirt. 

And here's what I'm going to wear them with:
My new shoes :) 
Happy Sewing!
