Butterick 5649 Revisited
Today was a day filled with activities, but I managed to sew a little bit here and a little bit there to complete my second rendition of Butterick 5649. This time I made it in a linen/cotton blend with just a touch of Lycra. I found this fabric for $2.50/yd. at Walmart quite some time ago. It was a dream to sew. The funny thing is, I kept forgetting to set my stitch length the same on several different areas of top-stitching. Good thing I used a top-stitch thread color that blended with with fabric. Otherwise I would have gone back and fixed those areas where the stitch length doesn't match. To jazz things up, I added a cargo pocket from New Look 6005 (see below), and I added belt carriers. I also finished the front and back with a flat fell seam. I will show the skirt in a complete outfit once I have the plaid top finished. Here are the details in picture form.

Looks great - and nice zip too. I am still struggling with fly front zips, but it is getting better.
Your details are SO GOOD. Excellent job, Shannon!
Great looking skirt.
You did a great job on the skirt and like the cargo pocket. I also struggle with fly fronts, any tips you can share on how you achieve a perfect fly front.
You do such nice work! Great looking skirt!
Cute skirt! I am still working on my version of this pattern and made 2 serious mistakes. One, I used a denim which is too heavy, and two, I bound each of the seams. So, there is extra bulk, and I have very little wiggle room. I have hem lace on, and need to hem and make buttonholes. My topstitching is superb however, and I used a blending thread just in case I messed up. :-)
Wow, it's great. Beautiful pocket.
That is going to be a perfect go to skirt. You can't go wrong with khaki!
This is SO nice!! I am a fan of cargo pockets, and yours adds a nice touch.
