Here is photo of camel/black skirt waiting to be hemmed-
I am actually pleased with the final outcome of this skirt. I drafted a pattern using Pattern Master Boutique, a software program for pattern drafting. I definitely drafted it too large, so there were lots of fitting issues during the sewing process. Once all were made, I think it looks very much like the inspiration skirt.
Today was second day of vacation and spent most of the day in sewing room. Instead of hemming the skirt, I finished final tweaks to M6844 and cut out fabric using two double knit fabric from stash. One piece was material used to make a Butterick dress and Magic pencil skirt. I also used the black double knit from the dress also.
I almost finished the cardigan, just a little more to go. I know that future versions will require a few more tweaks. I will share more details later.
Sounds like you are on a roll - go, girl! the skirt looks just like the inspiration skirt to me. great work!
