Garden Path - Skirt - Part V

More Progress!

Yay! More progress is a good thing. Today I work on some fiddly things, but important fiddly things. First, I tried on the skirt and discovered that I needed some darts in the front. I was able to place them underneath the pocket edges, so that they are hidden. This is the view down inside the pocket:

Here's what it looks like from the outside - no distracting dart to the smooth pattern of the front:

Second, I finished the lining, having to add the front darts and side seams.

Third, I got the waistband on and made the bound buttonhole:

Fourth, I even made the windowpane facing and it lines up perfectly. Thankfully.

Lastly, for the real fun: a perfectly matched to the pattern covered button. Yes, I am a bit OCD about matching. Not that you couldn't tell, right?

Tomorrow I'll finish up that waistband and all that will be left is the hems, tacking the lining to the zipper opening and adding the button and interior hook and eye.

Parting Shot. New Yarn. I bought some new yarns today for some more socks. Now that the sweater is done I need some car projects, especially with the road trip vacation coming up!
