Burda Style For people who sew
Description
When I was cutting out this skirt, I had the fabric right side down instead of right side up by accident, so the pleats are on the opposite side. I also moved the zip to the back. Overall, I’m not sure that I’m happy with the fabric choice – it seemed like a good idea at the time. Hmmm…
Material Notes
Tangarine coloured gaberdine that dates back to the 70s and a Japanese cotton craft print for the pleated underlay.

I agree with the other ladies: there sure is nothing wrong to be seen about your fabric choice. I really like your skirt!
