Stash busting: Pullover Skirt / OOP Butterick 5790


Do I need another pull-on maxi skirt?  Not really, this project is all about stash busting this small piece of cotton knit fabric with a tried and true pattern, OOP Butterick 5790.  I know that I will get lots of wear from this skirt over the summer, it's comfortable and it will go with tops already in rotation.  It's a win.   

This medium weight cotton knit fabric has been in the stash for decades.  It was pretreated with a tumble through the washing machine and dryer before hitting the cutting table.
