curtain progress

I'm using 3 panels for the curtain petticoat.  Maybe a bit too full for casual wear?  But at 52" across, I thought just 2 panels would be too modest.

I've handsewn all the skirt seams.  I matched the print carefully and used a running stitch with a single backstitch thrown in every 8-10 stitches.  I tried to keep the stitches a scant 1/8".

My matched seam! Can you spot it?

The only problem with using an odd number of skirt panels is that I now have to slash and bind for pocket slits instead of just leaving a seam open at the top.  That's my next step!
