Because I finally finished my Amy Butler Barcelona Skirt! Naturally, I should take to the streets of Barcelona, and show those Spaniards the glory of my stitches!
Okay, so I’m a little overly excited that I actually finished this project. My next, not to mention first, trip to Barcelona is not in the forecast-able future, so I’ll just have to show off this sweet summer skirt in the suburbs of Philly for the remaining, and altogether waning, days of summer.
This is the first article of clothing I’ve ever made for myself, and I am beaming with pride! I think it turned out very well, and I don’t want to give all the credit to Amy’s well written pattern; after all, I am the one who sewed it together.
I was really impressed with my seams matching up and the invisible zipper skills that I didn’t even know I had. This skirt came out much better than any of my quilts have recently. I can’t wait to run it through the wash a few times for the unfinished edges to get their frayed texture…then I’ll really be ready to take it to the streets.
Don’t worry, I’ve since hemmed the bottom. I’m off now to find my next project…or maybe I should could finish an old one…
