Slowly, but surely..... Back to the blog!
I now have a SERIOUS BackBlog. I have been sewing like crazy, and haven't been reviewing patterns, or blogging!

So here is the Tilton pattern I decided to work up! I am especially taken with these pants and will make these soon, I think, but I decided I needed a skirt and had a gorgeous fabric in my stash to work with. I bought this batik and it's coordinating piece AGES ago - in the late 80s? Early maybe as late as 92?
Hanging to dry over my banister it sure looks like a piece of art!
Here is what the coordinating piece looks like:

| The pockets |
I read on Pattern review that the zipper suggested was too short, so I bought longer zippers, and was able to find a lovely metal zipper that complimented the fabric. I followed "Noile"'s patternreview.com
advice and covered my zipper tape with self fabric.
Next time I will follow "about sewing bee"'s
advice and add stealth pockets to the inside - the pockets are purely decorative at this depth,
Overall it is a great pattern - a little long on me, and yes, it runs high on ease, but a very nice pattern.
