Simplicity 2226–Leopard Linen

Yes, after all the bag/purse/tote sewing, I do remember how to sew garments!
Kaitlyn and I picked up some leopard linen for Meredith and I thought it would be perfect made into a skirt. I pulled out Simplicity 2226 for the skirt, made here and reviewed here, The first time it was too big for Meredith, thank goodness for the tie, that helped the skirt fit around her waist.
Since that last skirt, Meredith has lost some weight, due to track and a very busy summer schedule. With that in mind, I went down two sizes.  This change made the skirt fit perfectly.
