Readers, I survived my daughters drop off birthday party, which we hosted in our home a week ago! Meanwhile, I finished a project for Burdastyle as I am again guest blogging there. I am a big fan of Burdastyle and the last few issues really don't disappoint - maybe they got a new designer? In any case, there are much more new design details and even though styles are recycled, they are not just rendered in another material, but new details are added, or some removed, so that those styles look quite different.
So, since it is the Year of the Skirt, as I announced in my New Year's resolutions, my first project for Burdastyle is a simple A-line skirt, but made in a beautiful novelty lace that I featured earlier on this blog.

On the last image you see a side seam, which is underlined in skin-color chiffon to prevent the dark seam seam allowance area from showing through. I'll be happy to share some techniques if you are interested, just let me know what you would like to know.
The summary of the construction was posted on Burdastyle in two installments; here are the links to Part 1 and Part 2.
I got to upload next installments of our straight skirt draft along, and a few other updates this wee, so stay tuned.
