Spring Skirt Part 2

On Monday I posted about this spring-inspired chevron skirt and promised I would post about another skirt Wednesday - well today is the day. This aqua pink yellow etc. floral skirt is made out of fabric from Hobby Lobby. They had a sample garment made out of this fabric and I thought it was so cute - the only problem was that the sample was a baby dress. I thought hmm... how can I make this more adult? The pencil skirt was a clear answer. I paid about $8 for the fabric (pencil skirts take less than a yard) and already had a zipper on hand. Not too shabby!

  Ever wonder what the inside of a "home-made" skirt looks like? 

Here it is...

 This is my "come on T.J." face.

 This makes for a pretty darn comfy skirt - I used a fabric with a little bit of a stretch for forgiveness. To make the skirt I started with a Butterick pattern - 5333 - but made some significant changes to it. I added a slit in the back and tapered the bottom of the skirt a lot tighter. I have made this particular skirt twice before, the first time following the pattern exactly, and the second making small changes. To make the changes this time I held up a store bought skirt with a fit I really like and just sort of drew off where I wanted the pattern to be smaller. I am in the process of making a plain hot pink pencil skirt from my altered pattern right now. So what do you think? Does it still look like a baby dress?
