Finished Circle Skirt

Worn with my pintucks and lace crop top.

Here is my finished circle skirt for Casey's circle skirt sew along that I originally posted about back here. I've been so busy lately with Frances Baker sewing that it was pretty nice to do a quick little project on the side for myself. I originally bought some navy chiffon for the project, which I definitely still intend to make up at some stage, but I was distracted by this fabric at the last minute and the possibility of doing some beloved patch pockets!

A few sewing deets: It's made from a lovely lightweight cotton, and I used a vintage jade coloured button to fasten the waistband. The patch pockets have a gently curving 'V' edge on top, and are lined in yellow cotton, yay! Because I was short on time and wanted this to be a super quick project I machine hemmed my circle skirt, but to add a little something nice to it I used a yellow bias binding to finish the raw edge on the inside. I forgot to take a photo of it though, sorry! Overall I am pretty happy with this project, and the fabric was very cheap too which made up for the skirt requiring so many meters. My only regret is that with my impulsive choice in fabric I'm not sure I have much in my wardrobe to wear this with!

Thanks to Casey for hosting the sew along! :)
