In the Sewing Room

This week's business in the sewing room: another version of an old favorite, this time done for fall in a beautiful khaki microsuede. I've made this skirt several times. The pattern has a beautiful fit, and can be made in a subtle A-line, or as a fuller, bias-cut skirt. I like to lenthen it by about 5 inches, use an invisible zipper rather than a standard zipper, and forego the interfacing in the waistband in favor of folding the fabric in half lengthwise and having a narrower waistband.
