I love the fabric.  I made a similar skirt and used bias binding as a feature in the waist and hem.

Love the colours of your skirt.
 I thought of you @UttaRetch  when I took the photo. Those lovely full skirted colourful coats you have made were eye-catching.

That skirt reminds me of southern France, with all the lemons! Summer can come now...

Getting there slowly, just the hem to do, all 12 feet of it. I'd better make sure I have a full bobbin in the machine.
I tried something out yesterday, I think I can get this skirt out of 2 metres of fabric although it will be 3" shorter. There was quite a bit leftover from the 3.5 metres the pattern requires. Sorry about the mixed measurement terms, I buy in metres but think and sew in imperial measurements.
I have got some bright turquoise and blue silky jersey which would be suitable. I had better finish this one first.

@UttaRetch  the skirt doesn't look much different than the last photo I posted  ;) I didn't have enough yellow bias binding to put round the hem. I do like this pattern so will make another.
