Remember a few weeks back I made a high waist-ed skirt from the February 2011 issue of BurdaStyle, a things went a bit wrong? Iron burn marks, wrong fabric, to a bit to fitted or forgot to cut the lining pieces?  Yeah, the post ‘Skirt Muslin!?’ says it all!

So I so wanted to try this skirt, that I’ve added a bit more ease, so I can actually be able to sit down while wearing it. As I did not want to retrace the skirt, i just added 0.5 cm to the centre fold lines. That seemed to fix it for me.

This time, I’ve waited for my zipper invisible zip to arrive and used Coleen G Lea’s tutorial to insert the lining to zipper  by machine and not hand stitched. It worked fine for me . I had no idea it was that easy. I had to see her video to figure who it goes in.

My skirt is not perfect, but the second version is much better than the first one . It is a bit looser, but I like it better, because I can actually move easier than in the other one. Here are some picks of the second skirt. 

I am much happier now. the new skirt is lovely

Also I wanted to let you know that I also started working on  the Cynthia Rowley 1802 dress.
