\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have heard several Oliver + S fans raving about this skirt and I couldn\u2019t agree more as it\u2019s become my favorite Oliver + S skirt! You really need to sew this one up to see for yourself. It\u2019s got so many things going for it; such little fabric is required, it has only three pattern pieces, it\u2019s super quick to make, and it\u2019s simple to put together. It makes the perfect project for the new sewist and for the more experienced sewist, it makes a great instant gratification project.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like any inspiration for fabrics for this project, have a peek over at the Butterfly Blouse + Skirt Round-up<\/a> where you\u2019ll see many versions of the skirt sewn up.<\/p>\n

Also be sure to check out Liesl\u2019s how to add pockets tutorial<\/a> if you\u2019d like to add pockets to your skirt.<\/p>\n

Enter to win a prize of two Oliver + S PDF patterns! When you have completed your Butterfly Skirt, post a photo in the comments of the discussion forums<\/a> under the Butterfly Skirt sew-along. All Butterfly Skirts made can be entered. One will be chosen at random. All entries must be submitted by Friday June 26th at 9:00 AM ET.<\/p>\n

Here is the daily plan for this week’s Butterfly Skirt sew-along:<\/p>\n

Day 1 (today):<\/strong> make the pleats
\nDay 2:<\/strong> attach the waistband
\nDay 3:<\/strong> attach the skirt back
\nDay 4:<\/strong> make the back waistband casing
\nDay 5:<\/strong> finish the skirt<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have a post later today about adding an adjustable elastic waist to skirts\/pants which can be easily applied to the Butterfly Skirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
