Adventures with clothing...

I decided yesterday that I needed to make myself a skirt. I looked at a couple of tutorials, and decided on a sort of maxi-skirt. Did I follow a pattern? Of course not! That would make sense! Why do something rational like that?

Nope I just bought some super cheap knit from my least favorite store..... (I won't mention names, because, well, that's kind of rude. They are a necessary evil, and they really aren't that bad. I just don't like the store.). Measured my waist and the length I wanted the skirt to be, drew up a sketch, and had at it. The skirt is ok, but I've been trying to figure out the best way to create the waist. I'm on attempt number 3.....

LC is watching "The Aristocats" instead of napping. And I'm trying to sew something that looks even remotely presentable..... Sigh. That's ok. I keep telling myself this is just the first in many adventures into sewing clothing for myself (something I haven't done in many, many years). Eventually I'll get better and I'll laugh at these first pitiful attempts :) Heck, I'm laughing now--why wait!

Now I must waist away :}
