My Kasia Skirt

I have had this skirt done for a while now but due to the fact that we've moved halfway across the country I'm just now getting the chance to show y'all (that word is used a lot here). Here is probably my favorite skirt right now...

I made it using a free pattern on BurdaStyle.com... a great site. The instructions are a bit strange but I figured it out. I used cottons with a bit of stretch and wanted the pockets to contrast the brown/cream print so I went with navy.

To give you an idea of how it works the zipper is in the front behind the button up bib. Therefore it has pockets in the front.  The pockets are also gathered a bit so it adds a nice touch. A couple things I did differently: I did a hand blind hem instead of machine stitching the bottom and I did not create a slit.

Honestly I really love wearing it. I've received several complements on it and people ask me where I bought it so that makes me feel good (Don't worry though my head is not growing it's just my hair).


So for those of you that may give this skirt a try be sure to read through all of the instructions before and figure out the parts that aren't clear. But it's a great versatile skirt!
