Why did I stop with only the waistband to be stitched down? It was already hemmed even! Oh, yeah, these were for Spring and we didn't have one! Or at least it was so delayed that I kept wearing the winter skirts I had just made and started on some textile art deadlines.
This skirt started out life as fabric I bought at Bombay Fabrics in Bradford ages ago. Some kind of blend I think. The selvedge says Perfect Fabrics! I tried to make a bog coat long jacket from it and failed utterly!

So part of it was made into one of the skirts for girls in Ethiopia I was doing. The rest was made into this!

I used my own straight skirt pattern for cutting the skirt from the bog coat fabric.

Only future refashions!

Good save. I also like the button detail at the back.
