GREEN WITH ENVY

My wardrobe consists of mostly black, white and prints. But with the Spring/Summer season

approaching, I want to add bolder colors. So when I saw this lovely green fabric

 from Unique for $3.99 for 1 yard, I was all over it.

Repeated the skater skirt process. Cut the waistline and hemline.

Cut, folded and ironed 4 inches for the waistband.

After attaching the waistband, I taped and sewed the zipper in the middle of the seam.

 

This zipper is too long, so I sewed/back stitched across where 

I want it to end, and I cut off the bottom of the zipper.

Don't you know after all that work, the waistband was too big.

So what did I do? Cut the zipper out and just sewed the two seams together.

Since, the material has a little stretch, I just wiggled my way into it.
