I finally adjusted the knit slim skirt pattern from
here with a FBBA (full belly/butt adjustment) from this
blog. I did the adjustment both on the front and the back skirt pattern. The skirt hangs so much better now.

The height at center front and center back are raised to allow extra room for my belly/butt.
It's a little exaggerated in this photo but sits perfect on my body.

I had to go did out a top to take a photo. I might just wear this to Church on Wednesday.

I think I should iron the skirt before wearing it out.

I better get to wearing this skirt before Labor Day!
I also made a slip to wear under the skirt.
I used my skirt pattern minus the hem and waist seam allowances. I also omitted the back darts. It's a perfect slip for more skirts to be made up!

I bought this tray with a spout on a trip to Harbor Freight. It's perfect to dump out buttons and search through them and just pour them back into the jar when I'm done. Most of the time I don't even miss!

Your adjustment really does make the skirt hang beautifully! Nicely done.
