I just finished sewing up a skirt for myself and I even though I paid really careful attention when I adjusted the waist of the fitted pattern, it is still too big for me.  I can get away with wearing it, but before I hem it for my shortness, I thought I would see if there was anyone out there that it would fit better.

The inside measurement of the waist is 40".  It can be adjusted a bit up or down when the hook closure is added.  It has a zipper and a modest back slit.  The current garment length is 28.5", and is intended to have a 2" hem, but again... up or down as needed.  There are two front darts,two back darts, and unfinished side seams if a little bit needs to be taken in/let out in the hips (currently 49").

The fabric is a wonderful, dark smoky-gray woven suede.  My material costs are negligible, as I used what were essentially "scraps" from another project.  There is an awfully cute matching hat.

Is there anyone out there who could make better use of this than me?  I am going to put it aside and work on something else... If worst comes to worst I can always pull the waist facing off and remake that part, but I hate doing that *sigh*

EDIT: It looks like this skirt might have a home now.  If you are interested in something similar, I can put one together for you.  I promise to get the waist facing right on yours.
