Amy Butler Barcelona Skirt Pattern
I just love the Amy Butler Barcelona Skirt pattern. I have made 3 different skirts from the pattern so far. This is my first one and I used Amy Butler Optic Blossom Linen fabric. I really love gray and yellow together. I made some adjustments to the pattern. I shortened it considerably because the length looked a little too "sister wife" on me.
Yikes...calf length is not flattering. I cut off about 5 inches so that the skirt ended up being knee length.
The pattern has raw edges on the layers and they are supposed to fray. I really liked this fabric and the raw edges bothered me because it just didn't seem like this would be very durable. I really did like the look of the raw edges, but after all this work if the skirt fell apart I would be heart broken. I turned the raw edge under 1/4 inch and stitched.
I really loved this skirt pattern and it was fairly easy to follow. I even put in an invisible zipper just like a real skirt!
Now if it would just stop raining and act like it's almost summer, I could wear all my new skirts!
