Oops – I started making The Sewing Workshop Phoenix skirt, put the project aside for awhile, and lost the instructions. Anyone out there made this skirt? I’m making this in a suit weight linen. I’ve already attached the side panels, but have not yet sewn the side seems. My question is this: Do the instructions recommend attaching the front and back facings before or after the side seems are sewn? Is it recommended that the facings be interfaced? It really is a simple pattern, but I’m a “plodder” at sewing. Thanks for your help. Carolyn
