Olive Oil Skirt Part 2

I put the waist band on and found that i needed to take the side seam in, the took in the back seam.  I put in the zipper in the back and found that I still needed to take the waist in more.  I could have taken the waist in about another inch, but it is very comfortable.

Here is my finished product

Now you see some wrinkles, that was after working for 9 hours at a desk job.  I am very happy with this project.

My "Olive Oil Skirt" Part 1

I had been looking through my BurdaStyle Magazines for my next project.  I had previously marked a page in the Spring 2014 edition, it's called the Olive Oil skirt. I really like this look and decided to use my khaki cotton sateen from my stash.
I cut a size 44 and added onto the side seams, per the pattern, I needed to add on for my hips, so i added the same amount up to the waist.  Easier to remove fabric then add it!
I really enjoyed working with this fabric, I got it from Fabricmartfabrics.com, it holds it shape well.

I did not put the back pockets in, I just did the welt part and made faux pockets.

I found this pattern really easy to make, the instructions are easy to follow.  Because I sew a lot, I read over the instructions and then got onto the sewing.
