linen a-line skirt

I followed this tutorial on one of my favorite sites, Crafterhours, and made this linen a-line skirt with a jersey-knit waistband. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out (way more pleased than I am with this photo -- I'm terrible at taking photos of clothes, I need a class or something).

It fits well, though the linen-blend isn't as drapey as I would like. Maybe it's the cotton that keeps it stiffer, but at $2.79 a yard, it was the perfect fabric to try out a new tutorial with. Maybe I'll try it again with some 100% linen. The jersey waistband is really comfortable --but it does bear a striking resemblance to maternity wear. Or wait! Yoga pants! Not maternity wear!
