I did the top binding and then put the zip in tucking the top of the zip into the binding. Easy and quick. 
The best of the photos the girls took this morning.

Skirt
A new a-line skirt from some IKEA fabric I bought earlier this year. I love this fabric - it reminds me of boab trees. The binding at the top is some Amy Butler fabric. I probably should have cut it on the bias, instead I cut 3 inches and bound the top like a quilt.

I love the skirt Kate, you must have such a lovely collection of skirts now.
It does remind me of boab trees. I so need to get a good skirt pattern, my sewing room is littered with rejects! Any suggestions? I think the reality is I just need to spend a day modifying the patterns I already have!
Love it!! xox
That skirt is great. Thanks for the tip on the binding and the zip. I hope to find some time next week for sewing some clothes. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great skirt! Gotta love Ikea fabric, and the binding's perfect with it.
I'm thinking I might start getting my 5yr old to take shots of me rather than seeing my arm stretching out to hold the camera back!
I love everything you've been making! This skirt is just perfect. I can feel a trip to Ikea coming on soon.
Gorgeous skirt, I love Ikea fabric! :) x

Cute!
Nice skirt too!
I like it. Especially the fabric. I have some of that as curtains at my house and it reminds me of boab trees too. (Can't help but smile when I look at it. It is cheery I think. They are happy boab trees in my book!)

I'm a huge fan of Ikea skirts myself. Might be time for another trip to enliven the stash.

A wild looking skirt! Lots of wavy moment, very lovely and a good picture of you!
