So i have finally finished my Amy Butler Barcelona skirt. It was a good pattern, a little confusing at times but easy to make. The underneath skirt pattern is a very simple A-line skirt and the top apron cover is a double sided, reversible tie-around style.
I love it, husband thinks it's "peculiar" . I also had comments from people at work including "Why are you wearing an apron?" and "Well, that's definitely unique".
I think that you would probably get a better effect if the underskirt is in a different fabric to the apron overlay fabrics, but i really like it and i like being "Unique"!
(please excuse my photos, to hot to go outside and take nice ones!)

Underskirt
Back (god my arse looks big!)I am definitely happy with my sewmanship (is that a word?) I didn't cut any corners and was patience and finished it off nicely, you should see my hand sewn rolled hem!
I will definitely use this pattern again, with some different fabric. Also there is one more pattern for a different style skirt to try too.

Your arse does not look big in this at all. I love it too. You really are clever Katy. I think you should try and be totally unique and go with what you feel is right for you. Love the bow - bows are big!
I love it too !! I would love to see one in pale green - pink colour ways ,....
do the two pieces remain seperate so you could change the overskirt for a different one ... so many options so little time :) le xox
I'm impressed with your sewmanship, too, and if that's not a word, well, it is now :)
So glad you posted. Yesterday Gabe and I heard about the brush fires in Australia, and I gasped. We were worried about "our Katie in Australia". We had to say a prayer right then, Gabe was so upset.
I'm gonna go tell him right now that you're okay...
