My plans for the skirt most certainly don’t include much ease... I’m going for wiggle effect with this one. :) Thanks for sharing that great link, Nora!

Black and stretchy material will hide a multitude of sins. Make it snug! - I think stretch material looks weird with too much ease sewn in. Here's a great tutorial I just came across for bubble-free zip insertion, if like me you find the zipper the most stressful part: http://thesewingdivas.wordpress.com/2007/02/05/centered-zipper-application-one-method/ The Sewing Divas rule.

It was my first attempt at sewing a complete garment. I had to hide it from myself so I wouldn't feel the guilt of doing such an incredibly poor job. It was of course my fault and not the patterns. It all started with dollar bin fabric, I can't say for sure that that is where it all went wrong but it is easier to blame the poor defenseless fabric that to take responsibility myself. I will make it over again, I might have to buy the pattern again just so I don't inherit the obvious gremlins that came inside the last pattern. Good luck, I hope your turns out way better than mine.
