Hooray for Hollyburn

I now have three Hollyburn skirts, my latest out of denim.

I look unimpressed. Why?

 I love the fullness of these skirts -they are definitely bike-able. I made the waistbands on these two skirts about an inch narrower. I am very short waisted and the wider waistband would fold over when it made contact with my lower ribcage.

 The pockets are lined with the same fabric I used to line N4's cape. So many of my skirts have pockets now. I think the only reason my previous skirts did not is my need to hurry and adding pockets would add, what, another 15 minutes to the process. I guess I have learned to slow down.

 The second Hollyburn is made from this owl upholstery fabric. It has great body as well.

 I screwed up the waistband -I should have cut it with the grain, but I was worried it would stretch. Silly me.

 I did better with the pocket facings tho'.

 Especially this one.

I have plans for at least one more of these made from a thrifted lightweight wool skirt. But that can wait for cooler weather.
