Skirts

I seem to go through fazes. First it's reading. Then it's knitting. Then sewing. I got the sewing bug last week and decided to make 3 skirts and two dresses. I didn't have any patterns in my size so it was fun to shop for new ones.

I made this skirt out of an inexpensive paisley...the first time I make something I always use cheap fabric. That way if I mess up it won't be a big deal.

Lots of pinning.
And pinning...
The finished skirt. I don't really like it...it's too plain looking and I need a shirt to go with it.
I love this one though! It was a bit harder to make but the fabric and pattern are wonderful!
The dress I'm making right now (pictures later) is a great pattern but horribly plain (cheap) fabric. I plan to make it out of a linen or something shimmery once I learn the pattern. :o)

(Oh yeah...the pinkish red shirt I'm wearing...I bought today to go with the skirt and it's a small! An Old Navy small so it's really a small. :o)
