Sneaky Chickadee

I am in the middle of a school uniform sewing kick.
Yes,it is a bit dull.
So I am trying to liven things up a bit by sneaking in some snappy details and pretty facings.
One of the pieces is the Chickadee skirt.
Which I made for Lid's&Tilly previously.

And I blogged here.

I was pinning the front section to sew when I thought I would check the fit on Elsa/Zara's skirt.
Just as well,perfect in the waist but no way was it going to go over their hips!

After a brief Spray&Wipe lady moment I decided to make it a buttoned wrap skirt!

It was a simple matter to mark the button holes using the pattern markings as a guide.

Don't faint Colette-Not MOP!

I used a good quality faux tortoise shell button,I simply marked the placement through the cut button holes.

And there we have it!

A cute Chickadee skirt with a sneaky secret!
(Oh,I also added a wee pocket for a hankersniff and a pencil)
