Stash busting: Cotton Knit Skirt / OOP Butterick 5970

 


This project is all about comfortable pieces and nostalgic sewing.  I've been sewing this cherished skirt pattern, out-of-print (OOP) Butterick 5790, for a very long time.  I have the original copy which I out-grew long ago and this is made with a more recent copy that is in my current size.  But I digress.  

The fabric is a cotton knit that have made an appearances here and here.  It was pretreated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer before hitting the cutting table.  Thankfully, no need to press before cutting.
