I'm using another variation of the pattern I used for my first brown skirt, McCall's 5591, but I had to adapt it to make the skirt less full, since the original pattern pieces are too wide to fit across grain, but this print is definitely directional, so that won't work. Also, my old skirt has a ruffle at the bottom of the lining which I'm planning to re-use, so I want the new skirt to be about the same fullness as the old one so the proportions work out.
So far, I've cut out the outer skirt pieces, the pockets, and the yoke pieces. I've Ironed the white fabric for the lining, but I need to adjust the skirt pattern pieces for that and cut them out. I stopped at JoAnn on my way home today and bought the zipper, but I forgot to get embellishing braid for the seam between the yoke and the skirt. I still need to cut out the interfacing for the yoke, and, of course, sew it all together!
