making a second skirt has been on my
to-do list for awhile now (ever since i made
the first one, in fact). but then i started my quilting 101 class and all other projects fell by the wayside. i even had the fabric (one of the denyse schmidt joann prints) pre-washed & cut & ready-to-sew for several weeks.

last weekend i finished up my quilt top (one big round-up post documenting the whole process will follow in a few weeks, although i've excitedly shown a few people a sneak-peak picture i snapped on my iphone). i had some free time last night so i finally got around to making the skirt. enough time has passed that i barely remembered what we did in class, so i was glad i ordered the official amy butler pattern & had the instructions to guide me. i installed the invistible zipper on the outer fabric without a hitch, but my trouble came when i had to attach this whole part to the lining. but, it's done. because of the length (a few inches longer than the first one i did) & the weight of the fabric & lining, it almost feels more like a fall skirt - almost a bit too heavy for these near-100-degree days.
