got the pockets fixed on that skirt this weekend. also got all the skirt panels attached together. got the front zipper mostly assembled, just have to do some top stitching and finish stitching up the front center seam, then i can do some test fitting. i left the side seams without the top stitching until i can make sure that everything is going to fit correctly with the waistband and all.

once that's done i just assemble and attach the waistband, put on a button, and call it a day. may put on some back pockets but maybe not. i don't think i have enough of the original denim to make pockets so they would have to be out of remnants from something else.
