Skirting the issue

I need more skirts if I'm going to teach seminary. And skirts or dresses in my size are hard to find in stores.

While I was out in Wisconsin last week, Jen and I stopped by a fabric store and we both purchased some knit fabric so we can make skirts and be twins. We started cutting out and sewing while I was still in Wisconsin because I knew if I took the material home without having done anything to it, it would sit there staring at the ceiling in my sewing room while time raced by in great big chunks.

We picked an easy style to sew up and one that is flattering on any shape--A-line--and without a pattern, we cut.

We didn't finish them while I was there because she had no black cone thread and we had to go to church, so I took the skirt home to finish it. And I did!

It's a very comfortable skirt.

Nice! A-lines rule. I am inspired to make some. Now to hunt through my stash and dig out the sewing machine....

It's ahh...very nice! Good job. I'd be too scared to go sans pattern.

Yay, you finished yours! It looks fab-YOU-lous! It was such an easy skirt that I want to make a couple dozen more. I wore mine last week just as a casual, summer skirt, and it was so comfy. I need to get Mike to take a picture to post. Will do soon. Love it!
