I bought a metre of each of these fabrics a couple of weeks ago, from a small local shop for only £3.95 a metre. I am making the Butterick 5564 skirt again with the brown.
Fabric is slippery and fraying a lot so I decided to use French seams on the side seams, which I haven't done before on a skirt (only on a festoon blind I made a long time ago) but what to do with the back seam with the zip?
After searching the internet, I think the answer is to use bias binding on the back zip seam, called a Hong Kong seam finish.
Excuse the photo!
