A Simple Skirt

This is a simple, one-seamed skirt with an elastic waist that I made from a border print cotton sateen I discovered at JoAnn's last summer. But as you know, simple isn't easy...

I matched the print at the back seam

Difficult to see (success!), but I assure you that there is a seam running up the center back of the skirt.  You can tell a little bit at the bottom, because...

...I also added a kick pleat.

My hip measurement and the print dictated the circumference of the skirt, and I used this technique for the matching after pressing under the seam allowance and facing for the kick pleat.

If I had it to do over again, I'd add a lining to minimize wrinkling but I'll just wear a slip with it in the future.
