Today's sewing went smoothly which was a surprise. I fixed the lining issue where I inserted the zipper by resewing the seam so that it faces to the inside. It isn't as nice as the rest of it, but no one else will know. Since the lining is slippery and frays some, I thought I would try Steam A Seam to hold the hem in place. That stuff works well, but sure is annoying to place and get to stay put. After all that on both the lining and fashion fabric, I didn't feel like stitching the hem, too. So, I have a "cheat" hem! But, I think it looks fine and I can always change my mind and go back and stitch it later!
Here's the finished skirt:
And, since writing this post I've worn the skirt a few times. I really like it! I've even looked through the stash to see what other fabric I could use to make it again, but nothing struck me. Oh well. I do not want to buy more fabric and have another project staring at me so I will just enjoy this skirt for now.
Tonight was the due date for our Ugly Fabric Challenge. I did not win anything :( The ladies who did win were very creative and it was a lot of fun to see what everyone sewed and who got my ugly fabric. This skirt was a win for my wardrobe though, so I'm happy :)

I think the skirt came out nice too! Glad you had fun seeing what everyone came up with on the fabric challenges.
That is such a cute skirt. There is no way I would guess it came out of an ugly fabric challenge.
Ugly fabric my foot! Your skirt looks fantastic :)
