One last easy summer skirt.
This one, burda 8677 again (3rd time), doesn't even have a closure. It's polyester jersey from Gorgeous Fabrics and has enough stretch to make it over my hips and still fit my waist without gathers.
I simply serged together two yokes at their side seams, then sewed them together around the waistline. Instead of using stay tape, I used 1/4" elastic, sewn to the seam allowance with just slight stretching to snug it up against my waist. I understitched the facing yoke. Then I turned the yoke facing inside and basted the raw edges at the bottom edge of the yoke together. This less fuzzy picture is the back - 
The skirt seams are also serged. Then the skirt is serged to the lined yoke.
Lastly, the hem is, you guess it, serger rolled hemmed. From cutting to completion this skirt took less time to construct than to pre-wash and dry.

so cute!
and again a lovely fabric choice... think we should shop together, you seem to have some awesome sources ;)
Cool! Will you bring the wallet?
Lovely skirt. I had been eyeing that fabric myself. Now I'll have to go see if she has some left. ;)
BTW - good job on the walk.
Great looking skirt, love the hem.
LOVE IT! It's quick, it's easy, it looks awesome and it fits! What else can one ask? Great job! (The fabric is truly gorgeous!).
A very versatile pattern! I have a burda one from WOF very similar and have made it quite a few times. Mine does not have quite as much flair but I suppose I could achieve that by some cut and spread. I hadn't thought of using a knit - maybe for the next one ;)
BTW, yours is really cute! Nice flare.
Very pretty skirt!
This is so cute; great fabric!
I want one too!!!
