out of order skirt

i made a skirt using this tutorial from out of order. i absolutely love this vintage fabric (i also used it last year for this bag) and it is exactly what i wanted for a skirt. it doesn't have the same fullness as the skirt in the tutorial (because it is a jersey knit, and drapes just like she mentions in the tutorial), but i'm ok with that.




when i was almost done sewing it and tried it on, it felt like it should have pockets. one modification, if you can even call it that, is that i used french seams, so, i ripped out enough of the seams, traced pockets from another skirt, and stitched the pockets sort of into the fold of the seams. if that makes any sense.



ugh. my photos aren't great, as usual. but the skirt's not bad!
