Yes, I did this.
And I am posting it here as a reminder that I should never sew late at night, the night before a long flight. As I pinned the lining to the skirt, I briefly thought something was off but didn’t heed my inner voice. Blithely, I sewed on the bias binding at the waistline, and proceeded to pin the lining around the zipper for hand finishing. Only when I got to the bottom of the zipper and saw the overlocked seam allowance, I thought “uh-oh!”
I am back from the trip and this is my project for tomorrow – unpick and fix.
On a more positive note, the trip involved driving from Chicago to Canada (what fun!) and a stop at Jo-Ann’s for some patterns.
I had meant to make another stop there on the way back to buy the few Vogue and McCall’s patterns on my list but it just didn’t happen. I really do miss easy access to pattern sales.

Been there, done that ~ so I understand! Glad you got a little pattern goodness to add to your pattern collection.

You had all that enthusiasm to make this skirt and now you’ve got a small fix it project to resolve.I do the same before travelling too.

If i did that, I would leave it. And just have a bit of a chuckle each time I put it on. It won’t make any difference to the wearability of it.
