Amy Butler: Barcelona Skirt

... so I got the pattern along with some of Amy Butler's fabric a few days ago in the mail.
Yesterday I decided to give it a try. This was the first time I made something for myself.

Well I have to say I am all set for spring and summer. I love the pattern and the fit.




Can you tell our Golden Retriever Max loves it as well?


I made the A-Line version of the skirt. I came together pretty easily. Her instructions were written very well. I decided to purchase an invisible zipper foot (found at the zipper isle at Jo-Ann's) for my sewing machine. I can't imagine putting the zipper in without the special foot.

Oh and I didn't line my skirt. It seemed too much bulk added for my taste. I was going more for a summery light feel. Especially now that it came together so well and I want to add the apron overlay to my skirt. It seems like a lot of fabric with the apron.

Off to find some more inspiring fabric to get my sewing ideas into actual projects.
