Doing alterations on a beautiful wool skirt...just wish it was mine!

We received this beautiful Banana Republic wool skirt in for alterations. I absolutely love working with this wool. I am thinking about buying some of the awesome wool we have at the store, but maybe when I get some more mula.

Anyway, here is the inside of the waistband.

I took the skirt in on the side seams and the back. I had to open up the waistband and cut into it to do this. I put the Banana Republic tag back into the waistband, cause you know you want to keep that tag in there. Also, since I didn't take the entire waistband off, I had to create an inside seam on the top of the band and will topstitch the bottom with all the seam allowances in it tomorrow.

I measured out the hem in the lining and the skirt. I had to cut it off and am going to redo the fold and topstitching tomorrow, as well.

There are four rows of top stitching on this bad boy skirt. I pray I get them all lined up correctly.
